To learn that Morden Hall Garden Centre is to close, is dreadful news. This garden centre has for many years been a wonderful asset both to Morden Hall Park and to Merton as well.

It is – has been – a delightful amenity, a place for coffee and cakes, a stroll through the fascinating shop, a chance to choose plants and garden equipment and then to saunter through the park.

If this centre goes, what will replace it?

Is another garden centre to be built on the site (if so, why not renew the lease and leave the existing one alone?) If not, is the centre to be opened elsewhere and in that case, where?

Alternatively, where is the nearest garden centre for Merton users? Is Merton not to have such an amenity at all?

I am sure I am not the only unhappy customer wanting answers to these questions?
