Following on from my last article about 5G, Merton Council has finally answered my inquiry after many attempts to find out the facts behind their proposed ‘upgrade’ of Merton’s wireless communication systems as follows:  “The Council will comply with all relevant public health and safety legislation and regulation. We have a contract with Arquiva that allows for the installation of 5G technology.”

 This confirms my fears that Merton residents will soon be affected by a huge increase in electromagnetic pollution wherever they live and will experience similar health effects to those reported in the US. My friend in Jacksonville/Florida just emailed me that 5G has been rolled out in her town and causes extreme sweating.

This latest report re the effect of 5G on wildlife also raises many questions:  https://www.healthnutnews.com/hundreds-of-birds-dead-during-5g-experiment-in-the-hague-the-netherlands/

 If people reading this are still not convinced that 5G is a massive experiment without any previous testing they should check out

https://www.5gspaceappeal.org/the-appeal/ for scientific evidence.

To allow such a new, highly questionable technology onto the market without prior testing for safety is against our Human Rights and raises big questions regarding the competence of ‘Public Health England’ who constantly raise alarm about the dangerous effects of sugar, fat and alcohol consumption on our health whilst willfully neglecting the biggest threat to human health – the Elephant in the Room: `Nonionizing Radiation’.

Unfortunately ‘Public Health England’, when questioned about prior research of new technologies regarding safety legislation and regulation (as referred to by Merton Council) has ‘always’ responded in the same way stating that:

“PHE is committed to monitoring the evidence applicable to this and other radio technologies, and to revising its advice, should that be necessary.”

That’s surprising as PHE obviously did not find it necessary to ‘update’ their advice after the publication years ago of the almost 2000 scientific papers in the ‘Bio-Initiative Report’ presented by eminent Scientists in this field. They also state:

“PHE does not hold information about practices in the insurance industry.”

So is PHE still ignorant of the fact that the Insurance Industry now sees Electromagnetic Radiation as an ‘Emerging Threat’ and therefore offers no cover? Really??

The big question here is whether PHE has become unreliable due to influence of Mega-Corporate interests.

Should PHE not be aware and have the office research capability to be aware that overwhelming evidence exists that Radiofrequency Microwave radiation from cell phone masts, TETRA installations, Wi-Fi. Smart meters and now from the proposed 5G deployments – all generate reproductive system degradation. The evidence for this has been thoroughly set out by medical and scientific experts, for example by Dr Sarah Starkey in her submission to Parliament of December 2017 –

http://data.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/committeeevidence.svc/evidencedocument/science-and-technology-committee/evidencebased-early-years-intervention/written/75325.pdf  

I also draw to your attention a comprehensive testimony by Dr M Pall – see https://www.emfacts.com/2018/08/martin-palls-book-on-5g-is-available-online/ where we read that 5G inundation is likely to cause acceleration and magnification of diseases and degradation of all human (+ natural biological systems) so that, for example, “We may have a gigantic epidemic of spontaneous abortion due to the teratogenic effects. Another possibility is that instead of autism being one birth in 38, however horrendous that is, it could be one out of two, or even a majority of births.”

If all this is too much info for the lay person to digest I suggest spending 9 minutes listening to Dr Pall summarizing the crisis which Britain + and world have slumbered into:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBsUWbUB6PE&feature=share

 Front Garden Awards

Summer 2018

 We are pleased to announce our annual Awards for attractive Front Gardens in Wimbledon Park.  A team of local residents looked at the eligible* gardens visible from the street to nominate their favourites.  From these, a panel of four judges arrived at the following decisions.

Overall winner of the John Uden Cup and

Best Summer Interest Garden:

95 Revelstoke Road Road

It was a delight to happen upon this cheerful little garden, which used the limited dappled sunlight to good advantage.  It was in contrast to most gardens in the street, in which few others coped with the challenging north-facing aspect.

Planted inside the low front wall was an informal hedge of blue-and-white lace-cap hydrangeas in full bloom, while a row of tall fuschias bounded the front path to the right. Easily visible behind the hydrangeas was a mixed planting of perennials and annuals, including spirea, lavender, fuschia, alchemilla mollis, daisies and ferns.  The gradation of heights provided an attractive view from both the house and the street.  Window boxes were filled with geraniums, whilst matching containers under the bay window were planted with a mix of small conifers, petunias, lobelias and geraniums.

Best All-year Interest Garden:

67 Normanton Avenue

The immediate impression given by this garden was of calming formality, created by the dominance of green foliage and limited splashes of colour.  The black-and-white tiled path to the front door was bounded on the right by an overhanging cherry tree and a mix of shrubs, climbers and perennials in a narrow border.  These included clematis, climbing roses, hydrangea, pyracantha and euonymous.  On the opposite boundary was a clipped hedge, while the low hedge at the front added to the sense of enclosure.

To the left of the path was a central array of clipped box topiary, set in a mulch of grey slate.  The borders of this area were planted with lime green heucheras, interspersed with variegated foliage plants and verbena bonariensis, with its clusters of tiny purple flowers on tall stems.  Bronze-leaved heucheras provided accent planting in the slate cover.  Immediately to the left of the front porch was a tall red rose to match the front door.  Planters on the window sills and at the porch entrance contained summer bedding and hostas.  The finishing touch was a wall-mounted pair of miniature hostas in the porch.

Best Container Garden

5 Strathmore Road

An eye-catching array of well-filled containers was displayed on the window sill, along the narrow stretch of paving fronting the house, and hanging from the boundary railings. Architectural metal frames supported two varieties of clematis, whilst other pots were planted with a rose, lavender, pieris, fuschia, sea holly, hosta, geraniums, lobelias, petunia, jacobs ladder and sedum.  A pot on the balcony was filled with brightly-coloured petunias.  Tucked in a recess of the bay window were two water butts.  Inside the enclosed porch a selection of mini succulents, impatiens, scented geraniums and colourful petunias were displayed on a set of shelves and a table.

The overall effect was colourful, well-balanced and uncluttered.

Best Environmentally Sustainable Garden

11 Lucien Road

A rich mix of planting filled this informal garden, providing colour and interest, as well as food and cover for a variety of wildlife.  The flowering plants offered nectar and seeds for insects and birds, whilst the underlying ground cover afforded refuge for invertebrates and assisted water retention.

Standing tall were cardoons, evening primroses, red hot pokers, mullein and fennel, whilst a trellis supported a pyracantha against the house wall.  The middle level of planting was filled with roses, hydrangeas, spirea, japanese quince, crocosmia, michaelmas daisies, wall flowers and others.  Prostrate plants included a miniature pine, heathers and silvery ‘lambs ears’.

Highly commended gardens

Front Garden Awards

Summer 2017

 We are pleased to announce our annual Awards for attractive Front Gardens in Wimbledon Park.  A team of local residents looked at the eligible* gardens visible from the street to nominate their favourites.  From these, a panel of four judges arrived at the following decisions.

 Overall winner of the John Uden Cup and

Best All-Year Interest Garden:

36 Ravensbury Road

This little gem has been beautifully landscaped, with a traditional tiled path to the front door, grey stepping stones and gravel between the front borders, and a smart wooden fence and bin store, painted grey. The plants are well suited to the north aspect of the garden, and the restful colour scheme is restricted to green, cream and white, with touches of blue and purple. Shrubs include box, camellia, pieris, daphne and hydrangea, as well as two purple cut-leaf acer specimens in pots. Filling out the lower levels are ferns, variegated hostas, lobelias and grasses. The narrow border to the left of the path has a choice selection of heucheras in varying shades of green, gold and purple, interspersed with more grasses.  A climbing white rose at the porch completes the picture.

Best Summer Interest Garden:

93 Kenilworth Avenue

The clean lines of this recently re-designed garden give a sense of space, with elegant wrought-iron railings on the right-hand side, and topping the front and left boundary walls . Grey slate paving forms a central rectangle, while a small bed cut into its centre has been planted with an ornamental cherry and a lavender at its base. Traditional black-and-white tiles define the path and porch floor, and the attractive wooden frame of the porch gives support to a wisteria. A standard olive in a pot sits to the left of the porch entrance.

The eye is drawn to the bay windows with generously filled window boxes, in which box balls are inter-planted with pelargoniums, lobelias and billowing blooms of petunias in shades of mauve and pink. The bed below has a mix of box topiary, trachelospermum jasminoides, hydrangeas, lavenders, dahlias, pelargoniums and lobelias. The beds inside the boundary walls are planted with alternating bay standards, lavender and trachelospermum, providing all-year structure.

Best Environmentally Sustainable Garden

16 Dawlish Avenue

An expanse of concrete has been transformed into a productive and ornamental garden by means of raised beds and planters created from recycled materials. Even a wooden wheelbarrow and zinc bath have been requisitioned as plant containers. An ornamental bird bath sits on a layer of crushed stone in the centre of the garden.

The edible crops include herbs, salads, brassicas, chard, courgettes, sweet corn, runner beans, potatoes, raspberries and strawberries. Behind the lavender hedge on the front boundary the bed of salads has a protective copper barrier to deter slugs and snails, whilst a border of marigolds demonstrates another aspect of non-chemical pest control. Together with some of the herbs and vegetables, floral interest is provided by hydrangeas, roses, lavender, pansies, and lobelias.  The overall effect is both orderly and attractive.
