My versatile husband in one of his working roles (he's been a waiter, car body repairer, pizzeria owner, refurbisher of heritage buildings and dry liner in modern constructions) helped to build Green Park. It would be interesting to return and see how it's become even greener with good walking areas around it. I wonder if the area still gets flooded?
