In order to encourage the promotion of gardens left in derelict condition, the council to facilitate a charitable entity .It would potentially offer gardening services to people in need due to old age or disability at cost price plus voluntary donations ,in order to offer a much more reduced cost to those unable to pay .This would enhance many peoples lives as well as providing increased capacity to greening and biodiversity. The Council could assist by offering operational space and perhaps minimal capital expenditure contribution towards the setting up costs.Services would include :garden clearance, running a gardening nursery, planting of fruit and veg and flowers, and trees in autumn .

We should also encourage people to keep using the parks building on London's National Park City approach and the ParkPower initiative. Assets such as the Avery Hill Winter Garden should be utilised to their full and park's used for regular events and community gatherings - Covid permitting.

I would like to see more tree planting in the northwest of the borough, where we do not have as many parks. I would like to see more planting of trees which grow very large and provide canopy cover. It might be interesting to consider growing tiny forests in some parks and small areas of open space, https://earthwatch.org.uk/get-involved/tiny-forests.

Greenwich Park, because it is very big, has a good variety of trees and provides amazing views.

As individuals, we're not well placed to have an overview of all parks in the borough - this q should be decided in consultation with wildlife experts and botanists as well as local residents/park users.

Parks and green spaces in general need more funding for both capital improvements and operational maintenance. Eg: the £1m Parks Improvement Fund is being used for what should be routine upkeep rather than the special cash injection it's been billed as. Would love to see tree planting and rewilding take place in consultation with botanists and wildlife experts, using natural regeneration where possible as an alternative to tree planting. I 100% support less mowing - it's a win-win for wildlife and people (who get a more interesting and beautiful place).

Local green spaces should be for biodiversity and encouraging and allowing wildlife to move between green spaces. Food should be promoted in private residential green spaces and with more allotment sites
