New garden space between Barandon and Testeron Walk
27 January 2022
In this week’s LancWest Fest community gardener Robert is in the garden space between Testerton Walk and Barandon Walk talking to Alana from the Lancaster West Community Development Team about future plans to transform the space. In partnership with @hellohubbub Lancaster West Neighbourhood Team are looking to codesign this space with residents to transform it into a communal food growing space for Barandon and Testerton Walk residents to use and enjoy. 
 We want to hear from Barandon and Testerton Walk residents on their ideas and suggestions for the space. All Barandon Walk and Testerton Walk residents have been sent a survey which they can fill out and return to Baseline or send a photograph of the completed survey to Alana on 07812507689. 
 To express interest in the gardening course which is open to all Lancaster West residents, contact Alana on the mobile number above.
Launching the Lancaster West Community Development Strategy

Lancaster West Neighbourhood Team has developed a Community Development Strategy for 2021-2024 to ensure that, as we transform Lancaster West into a model 21st Century estate, an investment in Lancaster West is also an investment in the local North Kensington community.
