Commemorative bench on Allsop Place

Commemorative Bench

A new commemorative bench has been installed on Park Road where it meets Allsop Place with funding secured from the Council by the Regents Park team. Local people may recall two identical benches were installed last summer in our ward.

­As Councillor Swaddle says ‘It is fitting at this time when the new COVID variant is sweeping across the UK and the pressure is once again being felt on the NHS that we pay our local tribute to the wonderful work of our NHS and key workers’.
