The Area to the South of the Skew Arch. The area roughly between the Railhouse (the former Junction Tavern), the library and the Skew Arch has always appeared as a significant area of public space that could be better utilised. A lot of creative work has been achieved on the north side of the railway, so we’re now looking to see what can be done on our side. Tony Edwards from Place, Design & Planning (local urban planners) has produced some options for this large piece of public land with the help of ARA member Peter Fischer - click link below for more information. Since the recycling bins were removed from this area, the Raynes Park Association obtained funding to put artificial grass down on the paved area adjacent to the Skew Arch to provide temporary improvement.
