Friends of Wormholt Park is established to develop park
facilities in 2011 - with funding promised from Hammersmith

Why have Friends Group?
A new Friends of Wormholt Park has been established following dialogue between a group
of local residents and the Council about how to improve the park for all stakeholders. The
aim of the new Friends Group is to improve the park both in the short term and over 1-3
year development plan.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council has green lit funding to spend in 2011 to develop
