Boston Manor Park: Let's Build it Back better - and Greener!

 Provide a ‘before & after’ audit of the trees removed: were more trees removed than were required or planned?
 Restore some of the scrub areas and areas of wilding and especially the lost trees
 Provide a meaningful role for visitors and/or local residents in future decision making on the park and its facilities
 Improve communication with the park’s visitors – e.g., keeping the Council website up to date with decisions and plans, better signage in the park itself: what’s happening? when? and who can people contact…

Why is this important?

Boston Manor Park in West London was recently fortunate enough to receive £3.6m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Lottery Community Fund to improve access, ecology and facilities at Boston Manor Park.

Unfortunately, following a limited initial consultation, poor communication and flawed management the park looks like it’s been swept by a cyclone.

Over 100 mature trees have been felled, hedgerows removed, and wildlife habitats destroyed. Local residents and visitors to the park alike have expressed their considerable upset and confusion over the damage done.
