Friends of Paddington Old Cemetery

All done. And what a sight. With the help of London Timber Frame, we helped save the veteran Japanese Cherry Tree, using traditional Japanese techniques. Read about it all here- fopoc.com/news

A work in progress. FOPOC's volunteers continue their excellent and crucial tree propping work. This time, on the cemetery's much loved Cherry Blossom Tree on the main avenue.

Brent council has announced its decision on dogs in the cemetery after the recent consultation: brent.gov.uk/news-in-brent/…

The date for our next FOPOC membership meeting has now been confirmed. 4th March 2025. Keep an eye on your inbox for more details.

@11streets Yes. Concerns were raised with the way the questions were worded. We did not feel the consultation was fair or objective.

@FOPOC_QP Have you actually read questions?

The future of dogs in Paddington Old Cemetery is up for consultation. If you live locally and/or visit the space regularly, make sure to voice your opinion on the matter. The survey only takes a few minutes: brent.gov.uk/neighbourhoods…

Last two days to have your say on the future of dogs in the cemetery: shorturl.at/pqi9J. One change to note is that ‘individuals’ can now respond, rather than one response per ‘household’. This gives many more local people a chance to voice their opinions.

The chapels at the heart of the cemetery are of huge importance to this historic space. Make sure to have your say on their future use, by completing this survey: haveyoursay.brent.gov.uk/en-GB/projects…

Check out our latest newsletter (12/07) at fopoc.com/news to learn about our response to a worrying change at the Cemetery, and our ongoing efforts to protect the space. The support of the local community is more important than ever.

Join us this Sunday (22/09) at the Chapel's Open Day in Paddington Old Cemetery. We are leading efforts to secure Heritage Lottery Funds to save and renovate the Chapels; so welcome, and value, the local community's thoughts on their future. They're an essential part of the space

Announcing the old-school way of communicating with the new way. It just felt right for our first post. The new notice boards are up—swing by and take a look.
