Residents may have noticed that the areas beneath the benches around the garden and the path through the large Mediterranean bed are in need of a little TLC, with parts having been worn away & others reverting to mud. Well work to give them a new lease of life is in hand & due to begin on July 25th (deliberately timed to take place after all our Summer festivities).


The areas under each of the benches will be covered in cobble sets like the one pictured below (only minus the weeds - -well this is the Crescent garden!) and the path through the Med bed will be filled with herringbone pattern old- style bricks. The benches themselves will all be re-furbished.


There will be some constraints on residents’ use of certain parts of the garden for a few weeks on account of the amount of building material involved but our excellent gardeners, Gravitas, will do their best to keep this to a minimum and get the works completed as quickly as possible.

This year’s Annual General Meeting of Formosa Amenity Ltd on Tuesday 5th July has been moved from St Saviour’s Church on Warrington Crescent. The new location is St Saviour’s Primary School at the corner of Formosa St & Shirland Road (used as the polling station for the May elections).


The meeting will run from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm & topics will include financial & budgetary matters as well as forthcoming social events & Formosa’s planning guidelines. There will also be a chance to put any questions about the Garden to Jan, the head of Gravitas.


All are welcome to attend!
