New Trees Planted on Uxbridge Road

Local residents' campaign to Clean Up The Uxbridge Road appears to have scored a small victory in the form of new trees being planted along The Uxbridge Road. 

The campaign has been working with our local council the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham to take action to improve our local street scene. 

Uxbridge Road has long felt neglected; just walking up the street can feel like an obstacle course, dodging rubbish, panhandlers, and graffiti-covered phone booths. 

Beavers Released in Hammersmith Park

Hammersmith Park Beaver Dam

Beavers have been released in Hammersmith Park (known locally as "The BBC Park"), and already they are making an impact on the local ecosystem.

Residents visiting Hammersmith Park this morning may notice discreet new fencing around part of the lake. 

It forms part of a carefully managed pilot to reintroduce Eurasian beavers as a natural flood-mitigation and biodiversity project.
