In a final goodbye the Trust confirms it has now been removed from the Companies House Register. See post on 30 March 2026.

The Trust also states that Cllr Vollum, the current Richmond Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Kew Ward, sent an email on 7 April 2026 to acknowledge that there was no excuse for the Council not engaging with the Trust first before terminating our lease to see if a compromise could be reached.

“Termination of the lease before this could happen was WRONG.”

The former Chair of the Trust comments: ‘Grateful as we are for this acknowledgement, it really is the Leader who needs to explain the Council’s inaction as he was the one supposed to contact us in the first instance, according to an internal Council report dated July 2024.’
