Hackney spends over £10k clearing new £100k park

Hackney Council is reviewing CCTV footage after almost a football sized area worth of waste was dumped on Mabley Green.

Cllr Feryal Demirci, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, said:

Hackney Council has spent more than £10,000 clearing tonnes of waste covering an area the size of a football field, it said today.

Last month, the council approved £100,000 worth of funds to turn Mabley Green in to the world's largest "edible park", according to the Evening Standard.
