  • Greenwich Park
    GREENWICH PARK CONSERVATION PLAN 2019-2029 GPR_DO_17.0 ‘Greenwich is unique - a place of pilgrimage, as increasing numbers of visitors obviously demonstrate, a place for inspiration, imagination and sheer pleasure. Majestic buildings, park, views, unseen meridian and a wealth of history form a unified whole of international importance. The maintenance and management of this great place requires sensitivity and constant care.’ ROYAL PARKS REVIEW OF GREEWNICH PARK 1995 CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD Greenwich Park is England’s oldest enclosed public park, a Grade1 listed landscape that forms two thirds of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site. The parks essential character is created by its dramatic topography juxtaposed with its grand formal landscape design. Its sense of place draws on the magnificent views of sky and river, the modern docklands panorama, the City of London and the remarkable Baroque architectural ensemble which surrounds the park and its established associations with time and space. Still in its 1433 boundaries, with an ancient deer herd and a wealth of natural and historic features Greenwich Park attracts 4.7 million visitors a year which is estimated to rise to 6 million by 2030. We recognise that its capacity as an internationally significant heritage site and a treasured local space is under threat from overuse, tree diseases and a range of infrastructural problems. I am delighted to introduce this Greenwich Park Conservation Plan, developed as part of the Greenwich Park Revealed Project. The plan has been written in a new format which we hope will reflect the importance that we place on creating robust and thoughtful plans.

  • ITEM NO: 9 COUNCIL 21 JULY 2021 PUBLIC QUESTIONS 1 Question
    COUNCIL 21 JULY 2021 PUBLIC QUESTIONS 1 Question from Simon Radford, SE10, to Councillor Sarah Merrill, Cabinet Member for Environment, Sustainability and Transport With the announcement of ANPR being applied for emergency services access, the idea of opening Hyde Vale for 2 hours in the morning peak to alleviate traffic on Maze Hill has been mooted by the Council. Please note that West Greenwich is a small residential area (compared to East Greenwich for instance) with hardly any protection against large traffic volumes and vehicle sizes besides the LTN. The streets to/from A2 are interconnected by 2 streets including KIng George Street and Burney Street so excessive traffic on one road impacts the others. The proposal to re- open Hyde Vale or any other street in the area would invite rat runs throughout West Greenwich. So opening Hyde Vale with ANPR at the bottom would also result in rat runs accessing Royal Hill/Blissett St /Greenwich High Street via General Wolfe Rd/Crooms Hill and onto KIng George Street; latter is essentially a single lane road. Heavy traffic would run past 3 school entrances on Royal Hill, KIng George Street and Crooms Hill. Please can Cabinet Member confirm the Council’s plans for managing and mitigating rat runs which will appear throughout West Greenwich area before and during the proposed morning peak re-opening of Hyde Vale, that will protect the safety of school children and other pedestrians and cyclists? Please can Cabinet Member discuss what other mitigations within East Greenwich have been considered. We are aware that you have written to Greenwich Park but have you explored re-opening Park Vista westbound in the short term also in the morning peak to relieve standing traffic on Maze Hill in the morning peaks, caused by the very short traffic lights which prevent turns onto Trafalgar Road rather than the excessive volumes on narrower roads in West Greenwich.
