The project is ambitious for a number of reasons – but in terms of this Business Plan, most importantly because it will provide a complete step change in the level of commercial activity onsite. Turnover will increase onsite fourfold to around £1m p.a. as a direct result of the project , and expenditure will increase by around a third. This Business Plan provides a detailed assessment of the forecast operational performance of Marble Hill House and Park under the project.

    BEST WISHES TO ALL FRIENDS FOR A HAPPY 2019! PARK WALK The next Friends event will be a walk on Sunday 3 March. Meet at the Café at 10am for a gentle explor- ation lasting about an hour and a half. Our December walk drew a friendly crowd, seen here slightly dazzled by the bright winter sun – do join us for to the next one! All welcome, just turn up. THE RETURN OF LOVEBOX AND CITADEL The CIC has agreed to the Lovebox and Citadel festivals returning to the same area of the park as 2018 on 12, 13 and 14 July. The Ealing Events announcement stated that several key aspects will be changed in the light of feed-back from residents, statutory authorities and other stakeholders. It refers to better management of pedestrian access to and from the park, improving parking arrangements and managing traffic. It promises other changes, details to come and a better consultation process with residents. Last year they brushed aside the fears of the local residents on the grounds they were highly experienced organisers, then afterwards made a series of abject apologies for the distress they created around the Park. If they are truly listening this year, the consultation meetings will be important. We will circulate the dates when we have them. 'KINGDOM OF THE ICE AGE' Animatronic woolly mammoths will be moving into the Park in the spring. The contractors will be setting up the exhibits from 27 March onwards and paying visitors will be admitted between 6 and 28 April. Everything will be off site by 7 May.

  • Parks, People and Nature
    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.
