Who looks after the communal garden?
Many London properties have access to communal gardens, often in the form of well maintained garden squares, although some, particularly in W11, bear a closer resemblance to parks, both in shape and grandeur. The responsibility for maintaining the garden is usually met by a “garden committee” elected from local residents. Levies are made either through the building service charge (payable by the landlord) or through a separate garden levy made by the local authority and paid (by the tenant) as well as the Council Tax charge to the local authority.
