Support the Dalston Eastern Curve

Dear Everyone,

Please come and support the Dalston Eastern Curve Garden this 

coming Friday 10th March

around lunchtime.....

The garden is under threat as Hackney Council wants to sell off the land to developers.

On Friday the Mayor of Hackney will be visiting the garden and Marie and Brian need as many people using the garden to convince the Mayor that it is widely used by the community.

Come and have lunch and a cuppa or just hang out to support this wonderful space in the heart of Dalston.
