Do you have an idea that could boost your high street or neighbourhood, or transform a local park?

We want to hear about it! Submit your idea by 16 November

Plus, we’re recruiting a local panel to shortlist your ideas - sign up by 2 November.

Last year, we asked the people of Merton for your ideas on how we should spend our innovative £15m public fund, called the Legacy Fund. We're now turning these ideas into projects.

This Saturday is our Orchard Action Day! 🤩 We have a lot of jobs to do!!! Fixing the holes in the fence, moving a rose bush, pruning, planting out the tomatoes and looking after the vegetables, weeding under the trees and around the pond and clearing around the raspberries and soft fruits! Just some of the things we can do to care for the orchard to keep it looking lovely for the community. We also have some currants to harvest and there may be a few raspberries and strawberries to share 🫐🍓👏 As usual, we will be cooking up a delicious one pot dish to share as well! It would be great if you can join us for some gardening, growing and good times! 🫶 https://www.sustainablemerton.org/events-1/mitcham-community-orchard-gardens-action-day-26
