We’re thrilled that Agnes Riley Gardens is now a Green Flag Award park, at the first time of asking! This reflects all the work we’ve supported of the Council and the Friends to invest in and improve the park, with more to come!

✅ more space for pedestrians
✅ tidier pavements
✅ easier access

Coming just months after the permanent closure of Clapham Common Post Office, this dreadful proposal would cut off much of our community from vital postal & financial services.
