How will we do it?
- Turn grey spaces in and around Lancaster West Estate green
- Become a key part of the London Pollinator Network and Bee Superhighway
- Ensure every resident on Lancaster West has access to high quality green space
- Create an environment that protects and supports local species, with a biodiversity net gain from the refurbishment
- Meet the GLA’s Urban Greening Factor target (you can find out more about this via the following link urban_greening_factor_lpg_pre-consultation_draft.pdf (london.gov.uk)
Progress so far…
- Created new inclusive and accessible green spaces, and improving those that we already have, growing herbs, vegetables and fruit in our gardens
- Developed volunteer opportunities for the local community
- Worked with partners to ensure we support local species and biodiversity
- Explored the potential to install green roofs and walls wherever possible
Actions we will take
- Plant another 2000 plants across the estate and create a new wildflower meadow
- Secure additional funding to ensure that landscaping can be delivered as part of the wider estate refurbishment
- Create at least one rain garden on the estate and explore additional options for climate adaptation
- Support at least 50 residents and 20 LWNT colleagues to take part in volunteer gardening over the year
