Globe Town

Globe Town Market Square update:

The Council is exploring maintenance and management solutions to ensure the Square remains tidy and the trees and shrubs in the planters live healthily.

Meath Gardens Pedestrian Link update:

We have been working closely with National Rail and Queen Mary University, as well as with local Community Groups, to get their feedback on the latest design proposals. A Planning Application that incorporates this feedback will be submitted in early September.

Further updates and opportunities to have your say will be communicated here.
