    The Park Keeper 1 ‘Most of us remember the park keeper of the past. More often than not a man, uniformed, close to retirement age, and – in the mind’s eye at least – carrying a pointed stick for collecting litter.

  • Parks Open Spaces Timeline
    Wandsworth Council Parks time line There are many large green open places in south west London. The commons of Barnes, Battersea, Clapham, Putney, Streatham, Tooting, Wandsworth and Wimbledon date from ‘time immemorial’. Though largely comprising the wastes or heathland of a parish, the commons were integral to mediaeval land settlements and were owned by lords of the manors. As London developed during the nineteenth century the land was increasingly developed for housing. Several legal battles took place to defend the commons as open land. Garratt Green had long been ‘defended’ by the infamous Mayors of Garratt elections. Listed below are the green places in the Borough of Wandsworth that are managed by Wandsworth Parks Service. Further historic information can be found in the individual site management plans. 1858 A Royal Commission into housing recommended creating Battersea Park, Kennington Park, and Victoria Park in Hackney with formal and informal gardens as a way offering moral improvement to an area. Health was a matter of fresh air, exercise and diet, rather than one of medical resources. 1885 Battersea Vestry created Christchurch Gardens as ‘an outdoor drawing room’. The shelter and memorial were added after 1945. 1886 Waterman’s Green was created by the Metropolitan Board of Works as part of the approach to the new Putney Bridge when it was rebuilt in stone. It was not publicly accessible. 1888 Battersea Vestry owned the parish wharf and created Vicarage Gardens as a promenade, complete with ornamental urns on plinths along the river wall. During 1990s it was included in flood defence schemes. 1903 Leader’s Gardens and Coronation Gardens were created as public parks by private donation from two wealthy local individuals.

  • Development Infrastructure Funding Study (DIFS)
    Development Infrastructure Funding Study (DIFS) LOCAL PLAN SUPPORTING STUDY Draft for Regulation 18 Consultation 4 February 2016 Role of this study This study has been produced to inform the draft Local Plan and should be read alongside other relevant studies, the draft Local Plan and the London Plan. Study overview Document title Development Infrastructure Funding Study (DIFS) Lead author Peter Brett Associates and Jones Lang LaSalle Purpose of the study To identify: ■ the infrastructure requirements of growth at Old Oak; ■ when the demands for infrastructure arise; ■ how much those infrastructure requirements cost; and ■ how those infrastructure requirements might be paid for. Stage of production Completed to inform Regulation 18 version of the Local Plan Key outputs ■ Current indicative assumptions above land values, abnormal costs including decontamination and sales values; ■ Assumptions around potential phasing and release of development sites ■ Necessary transport, social, economic, environmental, utility and physical infrastructure to support the needs of development ■ Indications of the current day costs of this infrastructure ■ Potential mechanisms for the funding of the infrastructure ■ An indicative cashflow diagram showing potential funding gaps and opportunities to finance this. Key recommendations ■ There is a need for over £1.5billion infrastructure to support development in Old Oak ■ CIL and S106 can go some way towards funding this, but other means of funding this infrastructure will need to be investigated ■ There are significant cashflow issues and the phasing of the infrastructure may need to be reconsidered. Relations to other studies The DIFS work has been used as the basis for phasing assump- tions in OPDC’s Development Capacity Study (DCS).

  • The Making of Our Regional Park
    Newsletter June 201 3 The Making of Our Regional Park The Wandle Valley Regional Park is a idea that emerged some years ago from a collaboration between the South London Partnership and the GLA. As a Wandsworth Society member with an interest in the River Wandle, I became involved and was commissioned to write a report designed to get the four riparian councils, Wandsworth, Merton, Sutton and Croydon, working together to make the most of this great and underappreciated asset in our patch of south-west London. Many years down the line I find myself still a WandSoc committee member, but also chair of the Wandle Valley Forum, the umbrella group for about 50 community groups and charities with a keen interest in the river and the string of parks and open spaces through which it f lows all the way from Croydon and Carshalton to the Thames at Wandsworth. There was a danger that such a regional park would never be more than lines on a map and otherwise look the same as it had always done to those walking their dogs or cycling along the Wandle Trail that links most of this chain of open spaces. However, there is now a thorough understanding of the great importance of this remarkable green necklace, which also includes Mitcham Common, Beddington Park and the mysterious ‘Farmlands’ that link the two. In order to raise the profile of the park in the local community it was decided to hold a launch to present some of its frankly astonishing features, and a number of guest speakers have been invited to explain the importance of these community assets and of the development of the park itself, these include representatives from the WVRP, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Merton Priory Trust, as well as Bill Dunster of BedZed and local ornithologist Peter Alfrey.

  • Use This Template to Draft a Cabinet Or Committee Report
    A11 THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA PUBLIC REALM SCRUTINY COMMITTEE – 9 MAY 2013 REPORT BY THE DIRECTOR FOR SAFER NEIGHBOURHOODS SAFER NEIGHBOURHOODS SERVICES PARKS POLICE SERVICE REVIEW REPORT The Parks Police Service Review has now been concluded and a number of recommendations accepted by the responsible Cabinet Members in both the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Significant financial savings of approximately £140,000 (across both boroughs in 2013/14) are expected to be achieved as a consequence of these recommendations being accepted. £40,000 of these efficiencies are being delivered through a reduction in the number of parks being locked overnight in LB Hammersmith and Fulham. The review recommended that the two Parks Police Services are integrated to form a single team led by a Bi-borough Parks Police Inspector reporting to the Head of Community Safety. The Bi-borough Parks Police Service went live on 1st April 2013, initially patrolling from its two existing bases at 77 Glenthorne Road, Hammersmith and The Stable Yard, Holland Park. In the longer term a single patrol base would be desirable. FOR INFORMATION 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION This document presents the key findings and recommendations from the Biborough Parks Police Service Review. The review also received constructive peer challenge from the British Transport Police and the London Borough of Ealing Parks Service. The provision of a policing service in parks is a discretionary local authority service.
