The Hillingdon Local Plan (A Vision for 2026): Part 1 – Strategic Policies is consistent with the Sustainable Community Strategy and outlines a number of priorities: Improving Health and Wellbeing; Strong and Active Communities; and Protecting and Enhancing the Environment. Alongside this sits the Hillingdon Open Space Strategy (2011 – 26) which highlights that Lake Farm Country Park and Minet Country Park are considered two of the four key natural and semi-natural spaces in Hillingdon. The recommendations will increase the quantity and quality of accessible open space for residents to enjoy recreation and leisure. Lake Farm and Minet Country parks with their cycling facilities offer such an opportunity. Cycling, as a form of recreational activity, active travel and sport, offers a significant opportunity to enable residents of all ages to live an active lifestyle and take control of their own health and wellbeing. This report asks Cabinet Members to consider the summary and options suggested in the Hayes Cycling Facility Needs Assessment Report at Lake Farm and Minet Country Parks and agree to implement the preferred options as supported by British Cycling. The preferred options from the Report are: • Option 2 - Enhanced community use, testing the potential for a multi-discipline cycle and community hub at Minet Country Park. 1 Cabinet Member Report – 2 March 2021 Classification: Public • Option 3 – Constructing a multi-discipline cycle and community hub at Minet Country Park. • Option 7 - Retaining the BMX track at Lake Farm for informal use, whilst co-locating Hayes Hawks to an enhanced multi- discipline Hillingdon Cycle Circuit. The options would be subject to a review by officers, with support from British Cycling, of the financial opportunities available now or in the future, proposed planning or any possible restrictions on the sites, and current licensing and lease arrangements with Minet Cycle Circuit and Hayes Hawks who utilise the facilities. Putting our This report supports the following Council objectives of: Our People; Residents First Our Natural Environment; Strong financial management. Financial Cost To deliver options 2, 3 & 7, additional funding will be required. British Cycling is supporting the Council to access external funding opportunities from s106 and Sport England grant to enable the project to be delivered within existing resources. Relevant Policy Residents, Education and Environmental Services Overview Committee Relevant Ward(s) Townfield and Botwell RECOMMENDATIONS That the Cabinet Members for Families, Education and Wellbeing, Environment, Housing and Regeneration and Property and Infrastructure 1. Agree the summary outline of the Hayes Cycling Facility Needs Assessment at Lake Farm and Minet Country Parks and suggested options; 2. Approve the proposal to agree to implement the preferred options (Options 2, 3 and 7) as supported by British Cycling; and 3. Approve the proposal for the development of a Hillingdon Cycling Strategy Management Plan which would incorporate and contribute to more informed decisions on where to target investment. Reasons for recommendations To consider progressing a report to implement Options 2, 3 and 7 of the Hayes Cycling Facility Needs Assessment completed in April 2020, in a staged approach. Supported by British Cycling, these options focus on a greater proportion of the local community making better use of the underutilised cycling facilities and park at Minet and Lake Farm Country Parks. The Cycle Circuit at Minet Country Park and the BMX track at Lake Farm are popular destinations for all forms of cycling activity for riders from across the country making cycling communities the 2 Cabinet Member Report – 2 March 2021 Classification: Public most active users of these parks. Whilst free and open to public use, the cycling facilities at Minet are primarily used by cycling groups and clubs for training and competitions which means casual use by local residents is limited. A significant proportion, 79%, of these cyclists come from outside of the Borough to use the cycling facilities at Minet. Implementation of the proposed options will help to increase the proportion of local residents using these local cycling facilities which could improve levels of cycling activity in the Borough and deliver a wide range of benefits in terms of physical and mental health. These opportunities for cycling will further support and enhance the Council’s School Travel Road Safety Team Cycling programmes for residents of all ages. Enhanced facility provision as suggested in these options, could help shape a wider cycling strategy management plan for the Borough that could exceed the levels of cycling participation currently seen in other areas of London. Delegated authority to Cabinet Members is recommended to give effect to the proposed Options and the development of a Hillingdon Cycling Strategy Management Plan. Alternative options considered / risk management The existing facilities could be left in place. This is not recommended as a significant proportion of cyclists using the racing track facilities come from outside the Borough. Local residents are not utilising either of the cycling facilities to their maximum potential nor making use of the park. A new cycling participation management plan is required to improve resident engagement and access to the local cycling and park facilities. Democratic compliance This matter cuts across a number of Cabinet Member portfolios, significantly sport & leisure, the use of the Borough’s parks and also relevant licenses in respect of property and land. Policy Overview Committee comments None at this stage. SUPPORTING INFORMATION 1. Increasing adult physical activity through improving health and reducing obesity levels within the Borough’s population is highlighted in Hillingdon’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (2019). The Hillingdon Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2018 - 2021 also identifies the need to focus on the reduction of childhood obesity and an increase in adult physical activity in the resident population. The Council’s Sport and Physical Activity Team will be setting out a new plan of action in 2021 to improve physical activity across all ages as well as reduce inactivity rates amongst Hillingdon residents. 2. This proposal to Cabinet Members seeks to improve resident utilisation of the cycling facilities and park at Minet Country Park and Lake Farm Country Park as well as to consider how the success of these facilities can sustain cycling as a sport and develop talented riders. 3 Cabinet Member Report – 2 March 2021 Classification: Public 3. The Hayes Cycling Facility Needs Assessment Report was completed in April 2020. It assessed the closed road circuit at Minet Country Park and BMX track at Lake Farm and considered the impact of

  • Community Mirror a Data-Driven Method for ‘Below the Radar’ Research
    Nesta Working Paper No. 15/07 Community Mirror A Data-Driven Method for ‘Below the Radar’ Research Gaia Marcus, RSA Jimmy Tidey, Royal College of Art Community Mirror A Data-Driven Method for ‘Below the Radar’ Research Gaia Marcus Jimmy Tidey RSA Royal College of Art Nesta Working Paper 15/07 May 2015 www.nesta.org.uk/wp15-07 Abstract This report presents the findings of a study undertaken between June 2014 and November 2014 with the LocalNets.org project at the Royal College of Art (RCA), using the RSA’s existing on-the-ground research conducted for the London Borough of Hounslow. This collaborative research project, Community Mirror, was carried out to understand the ways in which online data-gathering techniques compared to door-to- door research in understanding how a local community works. The study concludes that digital methodologies do offer a promising approach to mapping the ‘below the radar’ social economy assets. There was a significant amount of overlap between the community assets mapped by the two different research approaches, with 31% of the community assets surfaced in the offline research also discovered by the LocalNets online app. Acknowledgements: This paper was prepared by Gaia Marcus to report on work undertaken while at the RSA. The relevant contact at the RSA is now Matthew Parsfield. Corresponding author: Gaia Marcus, c/o Matthew Parsfield, The RSA, John Adam Street, London WC2N 6EZ; [email protected]. The Nesta Working Paper Series is intended to make available early results of research undertaken or supported by Nesta and its partners in order to elicit comments and suggestions for revisions and to encourage discussion and further debate prior to publication (ISSN 2050-9820).

  • London LOOP Section 11 Hayes and Harlington to Uxbridge
    V1 : July July 09 V1 : London LOOP Directions: Leave the station, and turn right down Station Road. Go Section 11 straight over the mini roundabout, cross the canal bridge then turn right at the end of the bridge into Western View. Take the steps on the right which Hayes and Harlington to Uxbridge lead down to the towpath of the Grand Union Canal and the London LOOP. Turn right at the bottom of the steps and go under the bridge. The picturesque Grand Union Canal links London to Birmingham, which supposedly has more canals than Venice! It’s the longest single canal in Britain stretching 135 miles. Start: Hayes & Harlington (TQ098795) Squeeze through the metal kissing gate, and keep following the towpath. Station: Hayes & Harlington Finish: Uxbridge (TQ051845) On the right is a traditional cast-iron milepost saying ‘Braunston 87 Miles.’ Station: Uxbridge The reason behind the mileposts was to tell approaching boaters the distances to the end of the canal and to assist in the collection of tolls. The Distance: 7.5 miles (12 km) G.J.C. on the mile post stands for the Grand Junction Canal, the original title of the ambitious 93 mile long canal approved by Act of Parliament in 1793 to link Braunston in Northamptonshire with Brentford in London. Introduction: A good section for enthusiasts of waterside walking, as over two-thirds follows canal, river or lake. After a few hundred yards there is another kissing gate. Go through and keep following the path under a modern brick bridge. This is an easy walk on mostly level ground with a few short climbs.

    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Hillingdon May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Hillingdon 1 1. Barra Hall Park 2.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions. The All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www.london.gov.uk/publication/all-london- green-grid-spg . This part of London is endowed with high quality green space including the spectacular countryside Foreword on the edge of the city in the Colne Valley, the ancient Ruislip Woods and in the Crane Valley, the emerging Crane Park and Yeading Brook Meadows, an extensive area of countryside now entirely encapsulated by the expansion of London.
