Bankside Open Spaces Trust (BOST, the charity that manages Crossbones Garden of Remembrance) has been asked by the site-owners Transport for London (TfL) to present a plan for the future of the garden when the adjoining site is developed. Hej from BOST has invited some people to attend a series of ‘Vision Masterplan subcommittee’ workshops ons everal Saturday afternoons in April and May 2017. If you’d like to join, or to find out more, please let her know. Or you can submit ideas by emailing hej@bost.org.uk.
Friends of Crossbones accept that BOST may need to ‘improve’ the site, and strongly believe that this must be balanced by the determination to protect and enhance what’s already there, including those ‘DIY’ features which embody the unique spirit of Crossbones and which have already established it as an iconic memorial garden attracting visitors from all over the world.
