When you're the Civic Mayor you get to buy homemade 🍓 jam from the young entrepreneurs of Grasmere School. They picked the fruit from a local farm , made the jam at school (Teachers helped) and sold the tasty jam😋 in a local shop. Now that's enterprise😊

Work is being carried out to repair the sinkhole but we expect Victoria Park Road to remain closed over the weekend and reopen on Monday. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank residents for their patience while the work is carried out.
Due to emergency work needed to repair a sinkhole in part of the road in Victoria Road E9 7JN diversions are currently in place. We are assessing what work is needed and how long any work will take, but please avoid the area if possible.
