Covent Garden London
The heart of London's West End
Seven Dials Monument Charity
The charity organised a Greening Seven Dials project, which offered window boxes to residents and businesses at a subsidised price. This was kindly supported by Green Values Camden and Shaftesbury plc. And children from the two local junior schools planted hanging baskets in Earlham Street and Shorts Gardens. Unfortunately, we don't have the funds to repeat the scheme this year.
The charity made representations to Camden to forward traffic management in the area through consultation with local residents and businesses. As you may know, Westminster withdrew from the overall scheme proposed with Camden. We organised a deputation to see the Leader and others at Westminster to urge them to rejoin Camden, and hopefully there will be a positive outcome.
Unfortunately Barbara Field who rejoined the charity left in July, and in order to replace her we will need to raise the necessary funds. We are grateful to both Shaftesbury plc for part-funding her salary and to Barbara for her hard work. The charity remains committed to finalising the works around the Sundial Pillar - lighting it and completing the street improvements. Any help or assistance would be welcomed. Please contact Seven Dials Monument Charity, 68 Dean Street, London, W1V 5HD; 020 7437 5512.
