Queen’s Park Community Council are holding what will be the 10th firework event in Queen’s Park Gardens on 5th November. The gates will open at 5:15pm and the fireworks will start at 6pm.
If your volunteering work has earned you Time Credits, you can use two of them to enter the VIP area at the top of the hill. Entrance is via the gate midway down Ilbert Street.
It is always a wonderful, family event and we hope to see you there!
Thank you to everyone that joined in with the massive bulb planting session in the park at the weekend. It is going to look magnificent in the spring time.
@QPCouncil are pleased to support @RotaryInLondon with their #PolioCampaign. Thanks for the Crocus bulbs which we are planting this morning pic.twitter.com/zARFM9ZPGZ

Here’s your chance to look inside the Corrib Rest on Salusbury Road and help to decide how best to run it as a community pub with activities such as bicycle repair, co-working, pop-up restaurants. Transition Kensal to Kilburn will meet inside the pub at 7pm on Tuesday 18th October and they want to hear from you about what you would like to happen and how you can help. Do you have a group that could use some space? Do you have skills that would be useful – marketing, graphic design, technical knowledge, pub experience etc? Can you volunteer some time in the set up or regular running? Come along and let them know. RSVP to ttkkhub@nullgmail.com giving an idea of your interests.

Poor air quality has a direct impact upon our health and life expectancy, and has been linked to an increased number of premature deaths each year. Queen’s Park Community Council are considering a proposal, put forward by our most environmentally aware gardener Ray, for attaching low-tech Diffusion Tubes onto lighting columns (Street Lamps) around the Queen’s Park Council Wards from Harrow Road to Kilburn Lane. Diffusion tubes are designed for passive monitoring of gaseous airborne Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2). Similar projects have been conducted in Brent and Kensal Triangle.
If you are interested in joining us to attach diffusion tubes or would like more information about how poor air quality affects our health please email info@nullqueensparkcommunitycouncil.gov.uk
Did you know there are several artist’s studios not far from here?
Each year, they give us the unique opportunity to have a look around them for free and it’s happening this weekend. They even run a little bus between the venues.

We are so very proud to announce that the London in Bloom incentive has awarded us with a Silver Gilt in The London in Bloom Small Conservation Area of the Year – up to 5 acres category.
The Annual Awards is where London in Bloom celebrates the efforts of London’s boroughs, communities, businesses and individuals who do so much to make London a special place to live, work and visit.
We hope our certificate will soon be on display at the Beethoven Centre and we would like to thank everyone who has made a contribution to our efforts in the Wildlife Area, from the QPCC to Quinn’s contractors, the various people who have supplied wood chip and tree rounds, seeds and tools, but most of all we would like to thank the local residents who turn out in all weathers to maintain the area as a place for everyone to enjoy.
If you’ve been working hard with us in Queen’s Park Gardens, you’ll have earned your Time Credits. There’s a new brochure available to help you decide how to spend them.

We were busy again last weekend. Tasks included planting primroses and spreading gravel around the woodland walk. We had a good turn out and the weather stayed dry until we finished at 1pm.
Earlier in the week we planted some bluebell and wild garlic bulbs.
Please sign up for our mailing list alerts to find out when the next session will happen.
HCGA are continuing to run sessions on Thursdays in the rose garden between 10am and midday – for those who remember it before, you should take a look to see the great work that has already been done there! Still plenty more to do though. Please contact Ulla (ulla@nullhcga.org.uk) if you are interested and she will confirm the sessions are going ahead.
