About CGS
CGS is a group of residents of Crossfields Estate. We aim to promote the interests of all users of green spaces on the Crossfields Estate.
We recognise the role that gardening plays in the mental and physical and spiritual health of its participants as well as its benefits to the wider community.
CGS aims to protect and develop all the green spaces of the estate to their best advantage. Making ita more beautiful and fulfilling place for all residents and visitors to enjoy.
Constitution.
We are being advised by Claire Pritchard of Greenwich CoOperative Development Group as to the best constitution and that the Group should take.
This has to be done to ensure that we can apply for grants, funding etc.
Come to the meeting on XXX and hear what Claire has to say about this and other matters!
Green Spaces on Crossfields Estate:
- 10 Gardens Areas for the Use of Residents of the Estate: If you are interested in registering an interest in one of these gardens please contact to discuss waiting list times and the terms and conditions of tenancy.
- Sue Godfrey Memorial Garden: As part of the current funding bid we aim to sensitively restore expand and rejuvenate this beautiful garden which was set up in memory of the renown local ecologist and activist.We aim to develop this area for the use of the wider community and to provide educational opportunities for local residents, schools and community groups. We hope that this community garden will offer people with limited time a chance to become involved in gardening through regular “green gym” events as well as a wide variety of educational and recreational opportunities.
- Green areas around and between the blocks including a well used childrens playground and the areas within the red barriers around the base of blocks.
