Merton Council is currently working on a specification for a contract to maintain the borough’s green spaces. This work is part of a tendering process that could well see a private company taking this role over from the council.
Along with many other friends groups and other organisations active in the borough, we have concerns about this. We have worked with Friends of the Canons (FroC) on a detailed submission to help inform the specification and ensure the distinctive character of our area is treated properly in any contract.
