More good news for Fryent residents and Roe Green park users. I have noticed from another local blogger in Wembley that the Council has leased "The Lodge" on Kingsbury Road, opposite Valley Drive and granted planning permission to convert into a local cafe.
The Lodge will be extended to provide toilets and an outside seating area for park users and cafe customers. As local Councillors we have been asking the Council to lease the empty buildings in the park to include local benefits or amenities for local residents.
Also of interest is a link below which provides a short history of "Kingsbury Manor", its Lodge and Coach House. This has been written by local Fryent resident Philip Green a respected local historian and member of Wembley History Society. http://brent.gov.uk/media/387493/Philip%20Grant,%20Kingsbury%20Manor%20history.pdf
The Lodge has been derelict for many years and was in danger of being demolished as the building was in such poor state of repair. Our new Councillor Shama Tatler said "I am delighted that the building has been saved from demolition and is going to be put to good use"

Shama,
ReplyDeleteWhateever happened to this. This post is from 2 years ago and the lodge has turned into a permanent yet stagnant construction site???!
