Background and History
Manchester Gardens was originally the walled garden of a large, private house. It was given to the local community for use as a public garden. Originally called Seven Sisters Gardens, it was laid out with a central grass area with a small circular paved pool at its centre, with seating, perimeter walks, raised mixed borders and a small square pavilion. The garden was later renamed Manchester Gardens. Having become neglected, improvements were undertaken in 2008 and the gardens have been redesigned, although retain a formal layout; the Gardens were re-opened by the Mayor of Tottenham.
Today
We have created a leaf composter and a bug hotel. VCRA, as well as the HAGA Gardening Group, have planted bulbs over the years, which come again each Spring.
Anti-social Behaviour
The VCRA has been addressing the anti-social behaviour with a multi-agency approach; it was discussed once again at the VCRA meeting on 29 October - Met Police Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT), St Mungos, HAGA and local councillor were present - as well as at the Police Ward Panel on Thursday 26 February.
