The Royal Parks (TRP) Skating Policy Background the Royal Parks Are
The Royal Parks (TRP) Skating Policy Background The Royal Parks are managed for the enjoyment of the public, balancing the interests of our visitors, wildlife, the historic environment and conservation. As pedestrians comprise the majority of visitors and include potentially vulnerable groups, such as small children and the elderly, they have priority in the parkland and open spaces. TRP seeks, however, to cater for wide range of other recreational activities in a way that does not interfere with the safety, comfort and convenience of other park users. Skating is a popular activity that appeals to a wide range of people. TRP seeks to provide opportunities for skating in the Royal Parks for the enjoyment of skaters and without adverse impact on other park users and the park environment. This policy concerns skating on what is described in the Park Regulations as “foot- propelled devices” – including roller blades, roller skates, freeline skates, roller- skis, skateboards/waveboards and scooters. Regulations The Royal Parks Regulations state that visitors: • may skate on the roads, unless this is restricted by a park notice, and in any other area where permitted; • must not skate in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger any person; • must comply with any direction for the control of skating that is given either by a constable, or by notice; . must not intentionally or recklessly interfere with the safety, comfort or convenience of any person using a park Where you may skate in the Royal Parks Skaters may use park roads that are open to other vehicles, unless prohibited to do so. -

Barnet Youth Zone - Site Option Appraisal
Barnet Youth Zone - Site Option Appraisal The purpose of this paper is to report an analysis of the suitability of various sites, in and around the London Borough of Barnet, which have been identified as potentially available for construction and operation of a world-class youth facility. Five sites are considered. All were suggested by Barnet Borough Council. Background A location for a successful youth facility of this type is obviously likely to be influenced, in part, by various practical issues such as site availability/constraints and economic considerations and there may be no single formula for success. However, based on the successful operation of OnSide’s existing Youth Zones (and the unsuccessful operation of badly sited facilities elsewhere), OnSide strongly recommends three major criteria in terms of location. 1. Neutrality A significant feature of the success of the OnSide Youth Zones is their location in town or city centres. This is considered ‘neutral ground’ by the large numbers of young people using the facilities. Locating a Youth Zone outside the town or city centre risks it being viewed as ‘on someone else’s patch’, making it potentially popular with young people in the locality but completely inaccessible to others. By contrast a central location does not bring any of the territorial issues that can hinder positive engagement in less central locations. This is a crucial feature and can make the difference between a project’s success and failure. It is, of course, necessary to refine the definition of “central” when considering appropriate sites in major cities and London Boroughs but it remains essential to find neutrality in a suitable location. -

Lillie Enclave” Fulham
Draft London Plan Consultation: ref. Chapter 7 Heritage - Neglect & Destruction February 2018 The “Lillie Enclave” Fulham Within a quarter mile radius of Lillie Bridge, by West Brompton station is A microcosm of the Industrial Revolution - A part of London’s forgotten heritage The enclave runs from Lillie Bridge along Lillie Road to North End Road and includes Empress (formerly Richmond) Place to the north and Seagrave Road, SW6 to the south. The roads were named by the Fulham Board of Works in 1867 Between the Grade 1 Listed Brompton Cemetery in RBKC and its Conservation area in Earl’s Court and the Grade 2 Listed Hermitage Cottages in H&F lies an astonishing industrial and vernacular area of heritage that English Heritage deems ripe for obliteration. See for example, COIL: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1439963.
