Urban greening
Councils are currently focusing on enhancing urban green spaces and upgrading park facilities.
Ealing Council is progressing its 'Ealing Pride in Place' programme, which aims to enhance green spaces and revitalise high streets across the borough. A report in July 2026 stated the programme has a £1.4 million budget, with the first phase of delivery expected to commence in 2026-27, focusing on Southall. This initiative seeks to improve public spaces and foster civic pride.
In September 2026, Southwark Council's Planning Committee (Major Applications) B approved £442,947.75 in Section 106 funds for the redevelopment of Brimmington Park's sports facilities. Urban greening, which involves incorporating vegetation and natural elements into urban environments, will be discussed by Harrow Council's Planning Committee on 6 October 2026.
