In 2009 members walked round the parks, open
spaces and recreation grounds of Upper Edmonton at the
beginning of the year and decided to concentrate on trying
to improve these and other such areas in Edmonton. As a
start, six large trees have been funded for the children's
play area in Montagu Road Recreation Ground and the plans
for Pymmes and Craig Parks, when definite, will be
monitored to see what contribution might be made. A
successful Joint Meeting with Edmonton Hundred Historical
Society on he Industries of the Lea Valley was held in
February.
