Renewed Paths in the Peace Garden
The Peace Garden in Pinner Memorial Park has reopened now that the paths have been re-laid with the special Breeden Gravel surface which has been funded by the Pinner South Ward Councillors using some of their Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy that is collected by councils from new developments to fund local community projects.
The refurbished paths have enhanced this special place and the beautiful planting so well maintained by The Pinner Association volunteers.
