Redbrick Estate Communal Spaces

Your Bunhill ward councillors, Cllr Troy Gallagher, Cllr Phil Graham and Cllr Valerie Bossman-Quarshie, have teamed up with environmental charity Groundwork London to improve three green spaces on the Redbrick Estate.

Groundwork London is an environmental regeneration charity with a clear mission: uniting communities and enhancing the urban landscape. Our focus lies in cultivating green spaces throughout London. With a commitment to championing local communities, we strive to facilitate the restoration of nature in a manner that mitigates inequality, promoting improved livelihoods and well-being for all.

We know how important these spaces are in allowing residents to connect with nature, come together with their community, and boost their mental wellbeing, so we would like to hear your views. This is an opportunity for you to be actively involved in shaping the communal spaces where you live. The project will be fully funded via Thriving Neighbourhoods and Community Infrastructure Levy funding.

Three Greenspaces at Redbrick Estate:

The Butterfly Garden

The Wildlife Sanctuary Garden

Wildflower Meadow Garden Children's Natural Playground

The green spaces close to your home contribute significantly to your mental and physical well-being, as well as benefitting the local wildlife. This project aims to improve residents' quality of life by providing better access to playground equipment for children, increased opportunities to connect with nature, and a strengthened sense of community spirit.

We are aware of a number of concerns which were raised during a previous consultation, including safety, anti-social behaviour, as well as more challenging play facilities. We would very much appreciate your time and energy to discuss these in more detail and perhaps from the benefit of a new perspective.

Upcoming Events & Activities

We will be having an outdoor event on Saturday 29 June 2024 from 12 pm - 3pm. We will be looking to share some food, have fun activities, as well as delving deeper into your ideas for the green spaces, so we can present some new design plans.

Activities include:

• Food
• Family-friendly activities
• A walk and talk around the greenspaces
• Speak to a Landscape Architect
