Improving access to greenspace - A new review for 2020
Parks for London says:
This report is intended to assist local authorities (especially public health teams) make the case for maintaining and increasing the provision of (and equitable access to) greenspace and growing the wider network of green infrastructure, especially through the planning system.
The value of our parks and greenspaces has been much highlighted during the pandemic, so we applaud the timely publication of this report and hope that local authority decision makers will read and implement the recommendations of the report, to take a joined-up approach between planning, health, leisure and other services.
