Thornhill Square is an important historical square<br />
and forms a keystone in our portfolio of classical<br />
London squares. It has fallen into disrepair and has<br />
serious issues of poor accesibility. Both <strong>the</strong> play<br />
area and kick-about area are tired and underused<br />
(<strong>the</strong> football area urgently requires drainage). The<br />
railings are a very important historical asset and<br />
need to be repaired. Park is under-used even<br />
though surrounded by large housing estates and<br />
could, with investment, serve <strong>the</strong>se estates very<br />
well as an important quieter recreation space.<br />
