Open Space Strategy
Open space makes an important contribution to our overall quality of life. It provides:
- a sense of freedom and relief from our built environment
- somewhere to relax and leave behind the strains and pressures of day to day life
- somewhere to play
- to enjoy the flora and fauna
- to meet with our friends and family
- to exercise
- to learn about our natural environment.
The existence of quality open spaces also improves the visual attractiveness of where we live and work, helps to define the character of our borough and its unique identity and can improve the economic performance of the borough by attracting and retaining employment.
In developing the Open Space Strategy, we are seeking to provide a framework for the future management and development of open space within the borough which will enable the whole community - residents, community organisations, voluntary and statutory agencies and businesses - to work in partnership in order to obtain the maximum benefit from our open spaces. The basis of this framework is contained within an overall vision statement for open space, 8 strategic objectives which set out the key areas of improvement we will be seeking to prioritise, and an action plan, arising out of the strategic objectives, that will provide the detailed route map to enable the objectives to be achieved.
In setting out our Strategy, we want particularly to stress the importance we will place on our desire to involve the whole community in shaping the future of our open space. This is because we recognise that open space affects the lives of almost everyone who lives and works in the borough and because we believe that the combination of effective management and community involvement of our open spaces offers considerable potential for helping to make Haringey a thriving and more cohesive community.
The full Open Space Strategy and the Executive Summary are both available to read at the bottom of the page.
