A few days ago we posted an update on plans for repairs to the Hyndland Street entrance to our gardens.
As this has been problematic for some years now, we wanted to properly fix this before our peak garden season.
Good news! We have just heard today (at rather short notice admittedly) that this entrance will now have a new gate fitted on Monday 9 May.
It will be out of action for 2 to 3 days while the cement for the new gate posts sets and new keys are cut and delivered to residents of each household that has access to the gardens.
The other gates into the gardens (on Crown Road South and Foremount Terrace Lane) will remain functioning with your original key.

during the installation of the new Hyndland Street gate
Once installed, you will have 2 keys for our gardens:
- the new one for Hyndland Street entrance only
- the original one for the other entrances
The Committee is also considering some cost-effective options to return us to a single method of accessing all gates at some point in the future.
