What is the ''Westbourne Green Open Space' Consultation?
The Council believes that participation in play, physical activity, leisure and sport can be truly transformative, inclusive and fundamentally beneficial. Being active and healthy goes hand in hand with an improved quality of life and wellbeing. Sport, Leisure & Active Communities aims to improve Westbourne Green open space and offer a rich mix of play opportunities, different types of space and more accessible open space.
The purpose of this consultation is to gather views and insights on how best to improve the space and maximise usage of outdoor space within the three workstreams:
- Inclusive Play - A menu of options will be presented to the local community prioritising the most wanted elements of inclusive play
- Soft landscaping - Proposals will include recommendations on the use of micro forests, semi-mature trees and hedge infill to improve air quality, increase park biodiversity, reduce noise and water loss amongst other benefits
- Creating space for girls and young women - Increase use of the area by girls and young women to encourage physical activity and community life
Please note that this development will retain the large green space and already existing equipment.
