Norwood Green Paths and Distance Markers Public Consultation Results Norwood Green Paths and Distance Markers Public Consultation Results January 2020 1 Introduction In summer 2019 Ealing Council received a community petition for a walking and jogging path and distance markers around Norwood Green. The petition had over 450 signatures. Norwood Green Ward Forum has funding available to carry out this work. To give all local residents the opportunity to comment on this proposal it was agreed at the September 2019 Ward Forum meeting that a public consultation would be carried out. Cards inviting people to participate in the online consultation were sent out to all properties in Norwood Green Ward on 31st October 2019 and posters about the consultation were displayed on the green. The consultation was open between 31st October and 1st December 2019. The proposal is to install a new loop footpath around the green, linking the childrens play area, fitness equipment and seating areas. The new path would be made of recycled crushed concrete with an attractive natural stone granite chip surface and it would have timber distance markers at 100m intervals around the whole 500m course. The consultation area boundary: 2 Summary of results Cards informing people about the public consultation were sent out to 4,875 properties in Norwood Green and posters were displayed on the green. 82 people responded to the online survey and not all survey participants responded to all questions. Should there be a footpath and distance markers at Norwood Green? There was a 9% majority in support of the proposed footpath and marker posts at Norwood Green. Of the 76 completed and valid responses 41 (53.9%) were in favour of the proposed path and distance markers whilst 36 (44.7%) were opposed to it and 1 (1.3%) respondee didn’t know or couldn’t say. Of the 41 people in favour of the proposal 39 live in Norwood Green Ward and 2 live outside the ward. Of the 34 people opposed to the proposal 32 live in Norwood Green Ward and 2 live outside the ward. Why respondees currently go to Norwood Green Of the 41 respondents in favour of the proposal, 35 told us they visit at least once a week and 20 of those visit daily. Of the 34 respondents opposed to the proposal 28 told us they visit at least once a week and 11 of those visit daily. Most respondees told us they either visit alone and with their families. Respondents main reasons for visiting Norwood Green are for fresh air and contact with nature (72.7%), walking (49.4%) and doing exercise (46.8%). About the respondees 56 of the 76 completed responses were from people aged 45 years or older, slightly more men than women responded to the survey, 85% don’t consider themselves to have a disability and most respondents come from either a White (English/ Welsh/ Scottish/ Northern Irish/ British) or Asian/ Asian British (Indian) backgrounds. Respondees main concerns Common concerns raised are the loss of green space and that a path is not appropriate for this historic ‘village green’. There is strong concern that the historic green is slowly being degraded and built over, and that it should be protected and preserved as a simple ‘natural’ green space. Benefits identified by respondees The common response for supporting the proposal was its benefits for health. Respondees would like the path around the green to allow them to walk for exercise to improve their health. Older respondees say they would like to walk on the green but fear slipping on wet grass in winter months and that they are not always able to travel to more distant parks. Response from Ealing Council Ealing council believe that the proposed path and distance markers would be suitable for the historic green and natural environment as they use a combination of natural materials (the path surface of crushed granite chips and timber distance marker posts) and some recycled materials (crushed concrete which would not be visible as it forms only the base of the path. The path would provide a safe and dry surface to walk on allowing local people to enjoy the green space and get up close to the wildflower mounds and mature trees. The path will run around the edge of the central open space to minimise risk of damage from the community events such as Village day and the funfair. This also keeps it clear of the many nature trees as it does not enter the tree root protection zones. Norwood Green has registered village green status providing an extra level of protection assuring that the area is maintained as a green space for public enjoyment, sports and pastimes and that the green cannot be closed off from the public or built over. Defra guidelines for village greens can be found via the www.gov.uk website. Defra Village Green management guidelines confirm that works ‘for the better enjoyment of the green’ and that support public ‘use of enjoyment of a green space as a place of exercise and recreation’ are not considered offences. Norwood Green also lies at the heart of the Norwood Green Conservation area which provides guidance on ensuring that developments respect the heritage of this area. Ealing Council believe that the proposed path and distance markers at Norwood Green do no conflict with the requirements of either the registered village green status or the conservation area status. 3 Recommendation Based on these results the recommendation is to go ahead with installation of the new path and distance markers at Norwood Green in early 2020. What happens next? Norwood Green Ward Forum will fund the new path and timber distance markers which will be installed in spring 2020. The following pages give the full results of the consultation question by question. Question 1 - In order for us to determine who the response is from please tell us your address.

  • Valuing Ealing's Urban Trees
    Valuing Ealing’s Urban Trees EALING I-TREE ECO TECHNICAL REPORT Report Published in 2018 ©Trees for Cities 2018 Designed by Arup FOREWORD Ealing’s trees are an integral part of the borough’s character, from the 400 year old woodlands to the Cherry blossom-lined streets; even the borough’s logo sports a tree. Trees can play an important role in promoting mental and physical wellbeing, adding colour and beauty to the built urban landscape, reducing the heat island effect and they have the ability to absorb large quantities of water, to help reduce the risk of flooding. Ealing’s trees are becoming increasingly valuable as we face challenges of climate change and population growth. The Council’s vision is to increase and enhance the whole of the urban tree stock for the enjoyment of current and future generations and to ensure that trees remain a defining feature of the splendid suburban borough that is Ealing. One of the overarching themes of the new draft London Plan (December 2017) is creating a healthy city. The Plan suggests that green infrastructure, including trees, must be planned, designed, and managed in a more integrated way to ensure Londoners reap the multitude of benefits it provides, including mental and physical health and wellbeing. The Plan emphases that the urban forest is an important part of London’s green infrastructure and a major asset to the urban environment. This report helps us better understand the importance of Ealing’s trees and woodlands. The economic and social value of trees has become increasingly evident across all of London and has been highlighted in the London i-Tree Assessment and the Natural Capital Account for London’s public parks and green spaces.

These assessments and audits will allow the authority to identify specific needs and quantitative or qualitative deficits or surpluses of open space, sports and recreational facilities in their areas. They form the starting point for establishing an effective strategy for open space, sport and recreation at the local level and for effective planning through the development of appropriate policies in plans.
