Compound - hear our plans
MFPP rents out the compound area (near the junction of Brief Street and Cormont Road) to Father Nature and Trees for Cities. This provides the park with vital income and also provides a home for two environmental organisations that make the world a greener place. We will be holding a meeting on Monday at 6.30pm to hear your views about our plans for the site. Email Tori for a zoom link.
