The late councillor Maggie Mansell, served the residents of Norbury and Pollards Hill for 26 Years. She lived on Pollards Hill East and was a strong advocate for the PHRA and ALL Pollards Hill residents. She was our very own councillor and she was our champion.

Another notable in attendance was former councillor Andrew Pelling, who ran against Maggie for the GLA assembly member for Croydon and Sutton, way back in the noughties. Their friendly competition spanned 13 years and they both worked in public life for over two decades.

A huge Thanks must go to Tony Hooker of Litter Free Norbury and all of the organisers involved in this wonderful tribute garden for Maggie.

Maggie’s Garden is located on Green Lane, behind bus stop P-Hermitage Lane.
