West Norwood Health and Leisure Centre: improvements to grounds

Lambeth Council is proposing some changes to the grounds at West Norwood Health and Leisure Centre to improve the safety and cleanliness of the area for children and to attract natural wildlife while maintaining a green space for our community to use. Some proposals have been developed in response to feedback from local people about how they would like the space to be used. These are:

  • The erection of fencing to the play areas – this is to discourage the dog fouling that is currently taking place on a regular basis
  • Retaining the area of green lawn that is currently enjoyed by local people and families as a place to sit together – especially around the time of the West Norwood Feast.
  • Planting meadow flowers around the edge of the area to encourage bees and other wildlife.
  • Planting some new shrubbery borders around the green open space to close off the corner area and stop it being used as a walk through.

 To let the Council have your views either:

  • Complete the questionnaire here; or
  • Collect a paper copy from the reception at the West Norwood Health and Leisure Centre; or
  • Attend the drop in session to see drawings of the proposed works and discuss the proposals with Council officers: Thursday 22 March 2018 (3-6pm).
