Open space strategy
The Tower Hamlets parks and open spaces strategy aims to ensure
that the borough's parks and open spaces reflect the shared vision
of the council and its partners: to improve the quality of life for
everyone living and working in Tower Hamlets. Parks and open spaces
are important elements of all the borough's community plan themes:
living safely; living well; creating and sharing prosperity;
learning achievement, leisure and excellent public services.
The strategy details how the council and its partners plan to
achieve and maintain the highest quality parks and open spaces that
are safe and accessible to all of the borough's residents and
visitors. The strategy also focuses on sustainability. It outlines
the council's plan to cater for the future needs of the community
and the environment in the design and use of open spaces.
The strategy has been developed in consultation with local
people, residents groups, community groups and public bodies with
an interest in open space issues.
Each year, the council carries out improvements to parks and
open spaces, as identified in the open spaces strategy. This
includes refurbishment to play areas, park furniture, planting and
signage.
