This priority focuses on the enhancement, regeneration, and improvement of parks and open spaces in the wards across the North-East area. We collaborate with Parks & Countryside and other Council services to identify open spaces that could be better utilized and improved. Continuous consultations with residents will be conducted to gather suggestions and ideas on how best to achieve this priority.
Our priorities for this theme:
to protect the natural habitat and promote heritage and history
to improve the facilities in parks, keeping them maintained and safe
to support more community gardens, friends of groups and allotments
to promote healthy lifestyles through parks and open spaces
Ongoing projects:
‘Friends of’ group Support Project
The Northeast LAC works closely with the "Friends of" groups that work tirelessly to look after our parks.
We have funded festivals, events, and activities within our parks such as Easter Fayres and activities that are scheduled to take place over the Summer.
The Northeast LAC also support the 'Friends of' groups by providing them with the litter picking equipment that they need to run community litter picks and by purchasing items that are needed for the park such as more benches and bins.
Community unloved pockets of land
This project aims to improve pockets of unkempt land and transform them into well-maintained gardens that can be accessed by all members of the community. The young people involved in our Environmental Stewardship Project, clear the land with the support of Amey supervisors. The Northeast LAC fund the work in and members of the community volunteer to maintain the land so that it can remain an enjoyable community garden.
The Northeast LAC is currently developing an unloved pocket of land located at the end of Lytton road, near Buchanan road. We are transforming this into a lovely community garden with planters, wild flowers, fruit trees and an accessible path. The site was cleared by the Environmental Stewards as part of our Environmental Stewardship Program. Grass was planted, and a path was laid. A fence has been installed around the garden as well as a gate and a bin. A wonderful local resident called Malcolm made some planters which have been installed and filled with soil, ready for planting.
