The Western Road Urban Garden project aims to create an accessible community green space in an area that most local people are completely unaware of. The 2600 sq metres site of former Western Road Allotments has fallen into neglect in the past few decades but has a great future ahead of it.
Western Road Allotments is being transformed into a multipurpose community garden that will provide food, horticulture, leisure and community interaction. Southall Community Alliance will work with local residents and groups to further clean up this large site and plant new trees and hedging. It will be a fun outdoor exercise with a lot of physical work! And maybe samosas?
