Raleigh Road Recreation Ground Green Hub project

‘Green Hubs’ is a project by Habitats & Heritage to improve urban areas as habitats for wildlife. Thanks to funding from the LBRuT Community Fund, Habitats & Heritage plan on adding features that benefit wildlife and the local community to Raleigh Road Recreation Ground.

These changes will

• Improve the recreation ground as a habitat for birds, insects, pollinators and hedgehogs
• Increase biodiversity in the recreation ground
• Provide space for community food growing
• Provide resources to improve outdoor education opportunities for children, including Windham Nursery students
• Retain large amenity grassland area

Habitats & Heritage are also looking to create a ‘Friends of Raleigh Road Recreation Ground’ group which will allow local residents to help look after the recreation ground and have a say in how it is managed.

Please see the proposed plans below, and scroll down to find out how you can give your opinion on the plans.

Have your say

We are seeking feedback on the plans from people who live and/or work in the local area, whether you currently use the recreation ground or not. We will soon be announcing dates for our online and in-person consultations, so keep an eye on this webpage!

If you are interested in helping to maintain the planters or becoming part of the ‘Friends of’ group then please email us at hello@habitatsandheritage.org.uk
