The landlord has officially backed down and our gardens are staying exactly where they belong. My heart is full knowing that this vibrant space stays for everyone in Woodthorpe to enjoy. We will keep tending to every plant and keep a close eye on the area to ensure it stays …

Unfortunately, we have been informed that our landlord wants us to remove the pallet gardens to the front of the shops and they want the blue wall returning to the original concrete brick. The landlord has given us 7 days to remove the gardens otherwise they will forcibly remove it for us!
We believe it is unfair and unjust that a long distance landlord (based in London) that has never once visited the shops can just come along and demand changes to what he authorised we could do 18 months ago that many of us have worked very hard to achieve.
If you have witnessed the great change to Somersby Road with the installation of our gardens and agree that we should be aloud to keep them going, please sign this petition.

We are on the verge of hitting two hundred and fifty signatures and I need your help to push us over that line today. This garden means everything to our neighbors and we cannot let a distant landlord strip away what we worked so hard to build.

Watching the signature count climb toward one hundred feels like a huge victory for the space we built together. Please help us get over this hurdle right now so we can stop this landlord from tearing down everything we created.

I used to hate shopping on this road cause it looked like a dump. Now its actually pleasant. Dont get why they want it back to being grey and depressing.
This is ridiculous. Everyone worked so hard to make that place look nice and now some guy in London wants to ruin it for no reason? Leave it alone.
Just walked past and the volunteers were out again working on the plants. Its beautiful. The landlord is just being petty.
SEVEN DAYS?? That is absolutely disgusting behavior. They clearly dont care about us at all.
Hi - I have just telephoned Willow Management and spoke to Alan Blake, who was not prepared to discuss the closure of Somersby Garden, but he did promise to send me an e-mail which apparently explains their reasons why!
No way!!!!!

The garden has made such a massive difference to the area. Walk past it every day and it actually makes me smile instead of looking at concrete.
