Standing Together for the Future of Pocket Park A Call to Action for Our Community Garden

Petition: Standing Together for the Future of Pocket Park

A Call to Action for Our Community Garden

As we reflect on the incredible journey of the Pocket Park community garden in Hughenden Road, we are disheartened by recent developments regarding its future. Better Braybrooke, the organisation currently holding the lease, is exploring alternative partnerships, overlooking the very community that has nurtured this garden into a vibrant space.

Following a dispute over basic health and safety policies, the difficult decision to walk away was made to avoid potential financial ruin or legal consequences. Unfortunately, the gates have remained closed, and the Pocket Park is once again left neglected.

For years, this garden has flourished thanks to the dedication of local volunteers and residents - our community, transforming it into an oasis of beauty and community spirit. It has received numerous awards, a testament to our collective commitment. Yet again, our voices are being ignored.

This garden represents more than just plants; it embodies the bonds we've built as neighbours and serves as a space for learning, growing, and most importantly connecting. We must come together to advocate for our community’s interests.

Join Us in Taking Action! We invite all residents and those who cherish this space to unite and express support for the Pocket Park community garden. Your voice matters, and it’s time to make it heard. Let’s ensure the future of this beloved space reflects our community's desires and needs.

Together, we must try and safeguard the heart of our neighbourhood. Let’s stand up for the Pocket Park garden and ensure it remains a place for us all—by the community and for the community.

Please sign our petition,  share your thoughts, and ensure that the future of this beloved space aligns with our community’s desires and needs. For bigger impact write to

Please don't forget to cc Local Councillors:
Margi O'Callaghan and Cllr Mark Etherington so they are aware and sit in on the Trustee Meetings so our voices are not being continued to be ignored. 

Please we ask all those lives we have impacted to stand by us and make our voices heard together.
