Local councillor Nick Small added: “I am pleased the Mayor could come to Kensington Fields to see some of the work the councillors have been doing with residents and the Community Centre to bring a sense of pride to the area. As well as the art work we’ve put funding in place to tidy the area up and improve public realm.”
