A community garden has been approved by Bromley Council.

The Knoll Residents Association (KRA) will manage the first-ever community garden in the Knoll area of Orpington.

The land between Hillview Crescent and Orpington Railway Station will be transformed into a garden for the local community.

The initiative aims to enhance the vegetation and improve the area leading to the railway station.

Councillor Simon Fawthrop said: "This is excellent news, of Bromley Council working with local residents to improve the local environment.

"Residents alerted me to the possibility of doing something with the land several months ago, since then we have been working hard to make this happen with the council.

"I hope everyone will agree the result is blooming marvellous."

If successful, this project could inspire other communities to adopt disused or underused land for similar purposes.
