Mayor's grant gives go-ahead for greening Green Lanes

Thanks to the pledges and likes posted by local people on Facehive, the Palmers Green Action Team's project to start creating a green chain from Broomfield Park to Hazelwood Rec is now assured financially. The money taking the project over the finishing line came in the shape of a grant of £4,065 from the Mayor of London. Added to the more than £1,500 pledged by individuals and organisations, that takes the total to just under £6,000, 128 per cent of the target of £4,363.

Green Shoots! Delighted to share some fantastic news.... After such a strong show of community support and enthusiasm for our Spacehive project to bring mature potted trees to the high street, we have been granted £4065 by @mayorofldn, making our project 128% funded! We are over the moon! Thanks so much for all your pledges and likes! We will keep you updated on the next steps!
