Councils are currently discussing funding for open space upgrades and prioritising green spaces for future work plans.

Southwark Council's Planning Committee (Major Applications) B approved the release of Section 106 funds totalling £442,947.75 in September 2026 for the redevelopment of Brimmington Park's sports facilities. The project aims to upgrade aging infrastructure, enhance visibility, accessibility, and safety, including new artificial football pitches and accessible toilet facilities.

Redbridge Council's Clean and Green Committee prioritised enhancing green spaces and biodiversity as key areas for its upcoming 2026-27 work plan in July 2026. This decision was made alongside a focus on street cleanliness and tackling fly-tipping, which the committee acknowledged as a persistent national issue.
