Guerilla gardening at the British Legion, Elder Avenue

[Adrian Essex]

As I passed the former British Legion building in Elder Avenue this evening there was a lady clipping the burgeoning buddleia. Of course it was Joanna who recently wrote this piece doing as the wicked property had granted her permission to. 

All power to her, for taking this community spirited action.

She told me that the butcher had told her (so it must be true) that the developers have consciously and deliberately left the building unlocked, presumably in the hope that vandals or wild animals will wreak some sort of havoc, and that the plot will spontaneously become a building site without the need for demolition. Tut, tut.
