THE MAYOR is to look at ways he can help develop waste ground into public space.
London Mayor Ken Livingstone has instructed his biodiversity team to see how the Brockley Cross Action Group's project to turn land at Brockley station into a common can be helped.
The promise of assistance came after assembly member and Brockley councillor Darren Johnson asked the mayor to pledge his help.
Cllr Johnson said: "Brockley Cross Action Group has come up with a great scheme to turn unused land into a resource for the community.
"It makes a refreshing change from seeing developers snap up the land and build on it. I fully support this idea and I'm hoping the mayor will too."
