Seven Sisters - October 2025
Bike store and notice boards We are pleased to share that the bike store area has been given the go ahead to be refurbished following the damage caused in an arson incident earlier this year. This follows on from the work earlier this year, which saw the bike shed having new metal enclosures installed. You might have also seen new fire-resistant notice boards being put up around the estate. These will be used to share useful information, such as details for your Neighbourhood Manager, Curtis Lesser, upcoming events and activities.
