 Congratulations to the Mapesbury Dell. It has been awarded a Green Flag. (apologies – old picture) The Green Flag is an annual award for parks; an international accreditation recognizing and rewarding well-managed, high-quality parks and green spaces. To earn this benchmark standard, sites must pass an annual evaluation by industry professionals across eight key criteria, including cleanliness, environmental management, biodiversity, and community involvement. Thanks to all the volunteers at the Dell whose hard work has been recognised; and particular thanks to Jill Rixon who leads the work. Repair Cafe: St Cuthbert’s Church Hall. Forwych Road Monday, 20th July 6:30pm – 8:30pm.with Kilburn Fixers. Restart Parties are free events giving practical help to fix your broken or tired gadgets. Slow laptops, broken printers, coffee grinders, lamps, kettles, vacuums, and many other small electrical items! We’ll help you figure out the problem and give help and advice on how to fix it. Restart Parties promote the repair and maintenance of electronics that may otherwise be thrown away. Volunteers will help you learn to fix; not simply a free repair service and can’t guarantee to fix everything.
