Issue - meetings

Louisa Allen, LBB Community Development Manager

The Community Development Manager gave an update on the Crystal Palace Park Project.

The Crystal Palace Park Executive Project Board had met for the first time on 13^th February 2012 and had agreed an Action Plan which was structured around six strategic aims.  A stakeholder group to represent the community and work with the Board had also been formed with the support of Community Links Bromley, and a number of community projects were planned for delivery in Autumn 2012. 

Work was also being undertaken around a proposal to host a London Garden Festival in the park.  This London-wide event was proposed to take place in green spaces across London every four years, and would provide an excellent opportunity for development and community involvement.

RESOLVED that the update be noted.
