Your neighbourhood has hit the Jackpot
Waltham Forest has spent £2.1 million on parks and open space projects between 2006 and 2008 as part of the Cleaner, Safer, Greener Programme. As a result of this investment improvements have been made to the environment, safety and cleanliness of Waltham Forest.
In 2006 we completed 20 projects and planted over 150 trees. We carried out works on parks and play areas, installed seats and paths in a number of open spaces, carried out allotments improvements and installed better lighting systems where safety was a concern.
In the second and third years we completed major projects in 7 parks, as well as a number of smaller projects.
Consultation played a key role throughout the Cleaner Safer Greener intiative and input from the local community helped decide how we developed and designed the improvements.
