What fantastic news, Walpole Park is a lovely local resource that everyone can enjoy. I look forward to seeing the improvements take shape.

Walpole Park is, so I understand, used by more people than any other park in Ealing. Consequently why does it need £2.4 million worth of 'improvements'? It just does not make any sense.

What intrigues us here is that the things that defined Ealing as Queen of the Suburbs in the advertising literature of 80 to a hundred years ago are totally erased by the new plan. The spreading horsechestnuts do not figure, nor do the rose beds that were spread throughout Ealing. I fact what is left of the rose bushes in the rest garden next to the house are replaces by a kitchen garden. Vegetables are a huge effort to look after while roses reqire a pruning once or twice a year and a good feed in the Spring.If we cannot look after the (dead) ponds in the park and the rose garden as it stands where exactly is the cash going to come from to run a full-size Victorian kitchen garden that would have required half-a-dozen full time gardeners? Has anyone actually though any of this through to include its upkeep?
