FRIENDS OF KENNINGTON GREEN

(The triangular open space, facing 350 Kennington Road, the Lycee and Kennington Park Estate)

This small but significant green space, with its beautiful deep-red blossomed trees, improves outlook and amenity for residents, businesses and visitors alike on an otherwise very hard landscaped bend of Kennington Road approaching Kennington Cross. Over the years, some trees have failed, seats have been removed and the area appears run down -  in need of friends.

There is now an opportunity to gain funds to improve the environment at Kennington Green through Lambeth's Greening Vauxhall initiative and other funding schemes. Greening Vauxhall Officer, Kassandra Polyzoides has suggested forming a 'Friends' group to explore possibilities for improvement, apply for funding and keep an ongoing eye on the space.

Interest and some suggestions have already been expressed through responses to the recent Kennington Cross Ideas competition follow up.

If you would like to join or help set up the FRIENDS OF KENNINGTON GREEN and make this special little space more attractive for all who use and appreciate it, please send your contact details to the Kennington, Oval & Vauxhall, area information officer, Gerald Gohler - see below.

All comments and ideas about Kennington Green are very welcome.

We look forward to hearing from you and knowing your views.

With best wishes,
Celia Stothard
