Recognition also for the 'Askew in Bloom' community gardening project
The Hoxton Hotel on Shepherd's Bush Green wins the top Environment Award
July 3, 2023
The Hammersmith Society held its annual awards evening last Thursday (29 June) at the same time as its Annual General Meeting.
Hammersmith MP Andy Slaughter attended to present the awards which aim to recognise improvements in the borough’s townscape, whether a new building, an adaptation of an old building, the creation of green open space, a well-designed streetscape, an improved shopfront, or the removal of an eyesore.
The winner of this year’s Environment Award was the newly completed The Hoxton W12 designed by EPR Architects on the west side of Shepherd’s Bush Green.
The 2023 Jane Mercer Award was presented to Askew in Bloom the community garden project organised by residents Olena O’Leary and Bryan Furlong. This award is for initiatives which have involved pro-active cooperation, collaboration and communication.

The winners received a stainless steel or polished brass plaque and a certificate.
The awards have been running since 1989 and are open to any project completed in the last two to three years visible from the public highway or accessible to the public. Architects and developers are not allowed to submit their own projects.
Value Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism. Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
