Steps going in today. #GinkgoCorner

Progress on Ginkgo Corner. The front brickwork is done, the space in the middle is ready for the steps, going in next week.

Some intriguing pipes that weren't on the underground survey plans. If only @createstreets.bsky.social proposals about underground maps & sharing pipework cd be adopted #GinkgoCorner

Exciting discussions about path edgings at Ginkgo Corner. Layers of permeable path to protect the tree roots and make the new benches accessible for all. #HounslowHighways @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social @lgla.bsky.social

Lots more digging and scraping on Ginkgo Corner today. It has to get worse before it gets better!

Work begins on Ginkgo Corner, relocating the gully, and preparing the foundations for new walls.

A blank canvas to create a new central point for Chiswick. Watch this space in January.

Preparing the ground for big changes in the centre of Chiswick. In January works proper will begin. This week, just getting ready.

Chiswick Flower Market is improving Old Market Place, in partnership with @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social & #HounslowHighways. Ginkgo Corner will provide seating, increased greenery, enhanced planting, and a new flowering tree.

Today work finally started on Ginkgo Corner - 4 cordylines were removed, one of which was impacting the roots of the Ginkgo tree. Tomorrow the ground cover should be removed, preparing for hard landscaping in January, and then lots of planting.

Happy Christmas from the Flower Market team.

Ginkgo Corner, the project to improve the centre of Chiswick by adding some benches & flower beds, finally starts on Monday. We have been working on it for quite some time!

Even in the depths of winter.
