The Severed Land

When the Greater London Council realigned the River Brent as part of a flood alleviation scheme in the 1980s the new position cut through the Billets Hart allotments.  As a consequence what had originally been the river bed became the Charity's land in exchange for the allotment land that had been lost.   The Fitzherbert Walk footpath from Uxbridge Road to the Canal near The Fox Public House passes through this piece of land, which is part of the Brent River Park. Where the path passes over the Charity's land it is a 'Permissive Path' and not a public Right of Way.

We are now managing the land in an environmentally-friendly way to improve bio-diversity and for the enjoyment of the many walkers who pass through it and we are proud to be improving our local landscape.
