As South Millfields park users will know there have been works going on from the SW entrance to the park (Chatsworth Road/ Millfields Road) for several weeks.

UKPN are currently carrying out an essential infrastructure update work laying HV cabling through Millfields Park (and Hackney Downs Park).  The work should be finished by the end of July.  The route of the excavation works will run across a long grass area by the National Grid building, and unfortunately there is no alternative but to remove the long grass in this area to enable the works to be completed.  The works are under licence and within this, UKPN have to reinstate all areas to their original state.

There are around 50 fruit trees in the Millfields Community Orchard which is in South Millfields, stretching from behind the lock-keepers cottage to behind the electricity sub-station. On Saturday 22nd May we will be repairing and replacing the guards around the trees.

We will be starting at 11.00 and expect to finish around 14.00. If you would like to join us please contact chair@millfieldsusers.org.uk or trees@treemusketeers.org.uk. You may want to wear stout shoes or boots and bring your own gardening or work gloves.
