The flower sculptures between George Lane<br />
and The Shrubberies were installed 20 years<br />
ago this autumn. Now, the artist behind them<br />
is keen to hear from those who helped with<br />
the project. “I was very taken by how pretty<br />
the green strip was on my first site visit back<br />
in 2001. The project – completed in 2003 –<br />
involved children from Churchfields, Oakdale<br />
and Wells Primary School. I would love to hear<br />
from those who participated for an article<br />
about the project in the next issue,” said Nicola<br />

A new South Woodford Post Office will open<br />
at 1pm on 29 <strong>Nov</strong>ember. The branch will be<br />
located at 115 George Lane, next door to Tipi<br />
Coffee Co. “This will restore Post Office services<br />
to the area after the closure of the previous<br />
stores. The same products and services will<br />
continue to be available,” said a spokesperson.<br />
The opening hours will be Monday to<br />
Saturday, 9am to 6pm. The last George Lane<br />
branch closed in 2021, and the subsequent<br />
temporary Post Office in The Galleria closed a<br />
year later following a number of robberies.<br />
