Plaistow Park Playspace Planting - £4992
From "Plaistow Community Assemblies"
Go to the project
This is a proposal to add planting between Plaistow park play-space and the high street.
The play-space is located right next to the busy high street, and so is often noisy and polluted with traffic fumes, both of which are damaging to the health of young children using the play-space.
This proposal is to add planting such as trees, bushes and shrubs and flowers on the park side of the railings at the edge of the road in order to reduce the noise and fumes reaching the playground and provide an attractive natural border to benefit the children and people passing by. Planting could also be added against the unattractive wall at the south of the play-space to provide more greenery.
Community benefit:
The proposal would provide views of nature for both children and passers by along the high street. It would help reduce air pollution and noise from the high street. It would also enhance this area of the high street, which is currently somewhat dilapidated. It would also benefit the nearby nursery.
This project aligns well with Priority 3: Parks & Greenspaces, as it is about park improvements.
