GREENER Ealing (GEL) will help transform an overgrown space into a garden for the students of Springhallow Post 16 College in West Ealing.

GEL is the Council's waste, recycling and grounds maintenance contractor, and next month will be carrying out the three-day makeover project.

The college, on Compton Close, opened in 2019 for 16-19 year-olds who have been diagnosed with autism and helps them prepare for the adult life.

GEL staff will start clearing weeds, cutting back brambles and preparing the soil for planting between June 7-9.

They will also be donating some hand tools to the college in order to help them maintain the area in the future.

Springhallow Post 16 hopes to turn the small area of land, which is owned by the Council, into a place where the students, and the wider community, can come and take part in planting and caring for the area.

There are ideas to include a herb garden, wild flowers and growing vegetables.
