We were lucky today to have beautiful sunny weather accompanied by a light breeze to celebrate the official opening of Chalkhill Park. Local residents came out in force to enjoy entertainment, food and good company. Cllr Bobby Thomas, the Mayor of Brent performed the opening ceremony and cut the ribbon. I commented that it was the only cut the council had made of which I approve.
The opening of the park is another step in the remaking of Chalkhill Estate which has become a warm and welcoming community. Special thanks go to the architect designer of the park, Garth McWilliams, who was there incognito under a baseball cap watching the performances whilst licking an icecream. It must be pretty amazing and fulfilling to watch people of all ages enjoy your creation.
