    North Hertfordshire District Council chose ‘Broadway Gardens’ as the new name for Kennedy Gardens after a public poll.

    The £1.25m project, the Council’s most ambitious in the Garden City for sometime, includes a magnificent fountain, a new paved area for public events together with substantial replanting of trees, shrubs and hedges in the Gardens and along Broadway Walk.

    Funding for the renovation work included £820,000 from the National Heritage Lottery Fund, £330,000 from North Hertfordshire District Council, £89,500 from Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation, £32,000 pledged by Morrison's when they built their adjacent store, and £8,000 from Hertfordshire County Council towards traffic calming improvements.

    I am orgianlly from Letchworth, but now spend most of my time in london. Therefore I feel very proud to be part of a town that has so much to offer in beauty and activities, Broadway Gardens is yet just one amazing example.
