Some of the proposed changes
A public consultation is now underway into a range of improvements at Harroway Gardens. Just over £428,000 is available to upgrade this neighbourhood green space.
Residents can choose from three options to improve its small playground and other environmental enhancements. All three would see additional greenery planted, repairs to footpaths, new seating and new outdoor gym equipment installed.
The three options can be viewed here.

The consultation runs until Thursday, January 6.
Staff from the borough’s leisure and culture contractor Enable are holding two drop-in sessions for local people to ask questions and find out more about the scheme.
These will be held in the café at Caius House, 2 Holman Rd, London SW11 3RL. The entrance to Caius House is at the intersection of Yelverton and Holman Road. The sessions are being held between 3pm and 6pm on Thursday, September 2 and from 4pm to 7pm on Tuesday, December 7.The council’s environment spokesman Cllr Steffi Sutters said: “I would urge everyone who lives in this part of Battersea, especially young families, to look at the three options and tell us which one they prefer.
“All three have been drawn up following a previous round of consultation when we asked local people what improvements they would welcome in this community open space.
“We have a significant sum of money available to upgrade Harroway Gardens and we want to make sure decisions on how that money is spent is in tune with local people’s wishes.”
