A small garden created 2003. Ashford Borough Council 'Housing News' (December 2003) reported: "An ambitious plan to turn what used to be a concrete drying area into a colourful and attractive garden is taking shape in Bockhanger. Housing News reported back in March that tenant Pat Boorman had applied for funding to convert the old circular drying area between the first and second blocks of flats in Bybrook Road into a garden. Ashford Weald Housing provided full backing for the scheme, and Pat and fellow tenant Diana Peswani succeeded in securing funding for their plans from the Scarman Trust. Ashford Weald organised the hard landscaping, carried out by Deacon Landscapers to a design by local residents, and the Scarman Trust money provided plants and equipment as well as paying for training for local residents so that they can plant up the garden."
