This year we have seen just how important the green and blue spaces in our borough are for our physical and mental health. Especially during the lockdowns, they have have been the places we can meet friends and family safely, we can exercise or get some fresh air, or we can connect to the calming aspects of nature.

Through the Citizens' Alliance Network, we've seen just how much interest there is in projects around 'greening': parks and green spaces , walking and cycling improvements , and through the Community Conversations we've held.

From conversations we've had, people have said that it would be great if there was a network where anyone interested in 'greening' could connect with others, share their ideas, the projects they are involved with.

And maybe in time, this network could be a way of doing more? Of receiving funding? For now we're being experimental- what are your ideas?

1. Follow this project- pop your email address in the 'follow project' part, on the right of this page

2. Join the Facebook group (link on the right)- this is managed by the network. Join us to get involved.

3. What's taking place already in your neighbourhood? Add it to the map below to help build a picture of the greening activities, groups and points of interest that are already here.

We're holding a Community Conversation on 11 January 2021, 6-730pm. Open to anyone we'll meet online to share what we've mapped so far, where our interests are and where we go next. Register for your free ticket here .
