WERA recently planted another 250 trees in Nursery Road Playing Fields and Merton Park Green Walk .

This brings the number of trees we have planted since our inception to over 4000 !

Further investment in improvements on the Merton Park Green Walk have been made , as part of its continual development .
This time part of the footpath by the Merton Park station has been completely rebuilt .

We are proud to announce that we have retained the coveted Green Flag award for another year for Abbey Rec and the Merton Park Green Walk .
This is one of only 7 in the Borough .
It is largely due to the work of young Keith Hunter and the Payback team .

Some of the bulbs planted in Abbey Recreation Ground last December are now in flower , making it a more attractive and cheerful greenspace this Spring .

For the second time an injured fox in Abbey Rec was helped by the excellent Wildlife Foundation https://t.co/wVSjTzSYRp
The organisation specialises in helping wildlife in distress and deserves as much help as possible .

Yet another 100 trees have been planted by WERA.
This brings the total it is responsible for planting to 3789 .

We secured CIL funding to revamp the children's play area in Abbey Rec.
This investment has turned it into a first class area for young children , and contributed to making Abbey Rec one of the best parks in the Borough .

[WERA Merton @WERAMerton]

Literally thousands of a variety of bulbs have been planted around the perimeter of Abbey Rec , by a specialist machine .
This will transform the look of the park in the Spring and Summer.
We will of course post pictures of its impact next year.

New fencing between Abbey Rec and Merton Park Green Walk has just been installed.
This along with the installation of 5 new benches and other improvements , were financed by the £40k CIL money raised by WERA .

All that remains of the £60,000 spent on refurbishments to the interior of the pavilion is in a skip in a flooded car park .
Demolition costs are likely to be of a similar magnitude .

WERA held its quarterly committee meeting via zoom on Monday 6th December .
The Council's very poor response to flytipping was noted . It continues to be a major problem .
The Council continue to ignore our views on the tennis courts and playing fields.
https://t.co/3tSB7GuIog

[WERA Merton @WERAMerton]

WERA raised 100% of the funds for the tennis courts on the basis they were free to use by everyone .
The Harris Academy has been granted exclusive use at times with other users being evicted .
The Council ignore residents interests with impunity .
