For the first time, Queen’s Park Gardens had an Outdoor Winter Festival.
Organised by TELL – IT Parents’ Action Group, it took place in the Rose Garden.
There was a variety of entertainment and the Community Council had mince pies and mulled wine..
The over 50’s kicked the events off with festive entertainment in St Jude’s Church beforehand!
Congratulations to Queen’s Park Community Council for organising their first fireworks display. Super conditions for fireworks; dry, no wind and a clear sky.
If you didn’t manage to come along to the event here is a sample of what you missed!

The Friends of Wormwood Scrubs are encouraging votes for Option C which is the one that affects the scrubs itself less.
It is worth noting for any of you that aren’t particularly familiar with these areas that as well as the particular natural habitat of the scrubs that from our local perspective and given current discussions throughout Queen’s Park on the responsibilities of local dog owners that the big and little Scrubs currently offer our easiest accessible large areas for off lead exercise of dogs and are used widely for those purposes. They also offer relatively affordable sports pitch bookings for schools and groups and non-bookable areas for organised sports and games, kite flying etc.
It is well worth taking a look at their information on this https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/london-overground/old-oak-common/consultation/intro/view and also that of the Friends of Wormwood Scrubs http://www.friendsofwormwoodscrubs.org.uk/post/99659671216/for-scrubs-sake.
We have precious few green areas of this nature in the locality, we encourage you to look at the information available and cast your vote.
