Scrutiny of Green Spaces in London

Green Spaces in London PDFGreen Spaces in London RTFThe green spaces of London are one of the city's most important and precious assets. The Committee found that these green spaces are in too many cases threatened with serious deterioration in their condition, crime, vandalism and loss to development. Despite many individual examples of good practice and innovation, we still lack a co-ordinated strategic vision for green space across London. This report calls for a renewed political commitment to London's green space and a proactive strategy for its renewal. The Committee regards the restoration of London's green spaces to full health, the protection of the best parks, an end to the neglect of the worst, and high standards of management and maintenance as vital to the capital's economic, social and cultural success. Above all, this Report points to ways in which Londoners can once again enjoy the city's green spaces, just as they have done in the past.
