We did

  • The feedback and ideas from residents helped shape the long-term environmental strategy of the programme (which is currently in a draft format) and to identify potential environmental projects for Phase 3 Mayor of London Future Neighbourhoods 2030 round of funding. The Council worked with Arup consultants to develop the strategy for Notting Dale and the consultation responses have informed the pillars, objectives, action plan of the strategy.
  • The initiatives that will be put forward in the funding application in November have emerged from ideas submitted by residents.
  • The Community Steering Group have supported us in developing the Future Neighbourhood vision of the strategy and have reviewed first two drafts of the environmental strategy to ensure it aligns with residents’ aspirations.
  • We have set up a programme page for Notting Dale Future Neighbourhoods 2030 programme which sits under the Council’s climate change webpages to keep residents updated about the programme and the environmental activities/projects happening

Overview

Notting Dale is one of only two neighbourhoods in London that has been selected as part of the Mayor of London’s Future Neighbourhoods 2030 programme, to deliver a range of environmental projects and initiatives alongside the development of a community-led future neighbourhood strategy. The Council and the Mayor of London are funding work with residents to transform Notting Dale into a model eco-neighbourhood.

Notting Dale Future Neighbourhoods 2030 focuses on five key themes centred around retrofitting, energy supply, health and wellbeing, nature recovery and green skills that will help to secure sustainable and inclusive growth of Notting Dale up to 2030 and beyond.

40+ projects are already underway as part of phase 1 and 2, delivering benefits to residents in Notting Dale such as, improved air quality, more energy efficient homes, lower carbon emissions, access to nature, and more green spaces and jobs.

A previous survey helped us understand the key environmental concerns to the Notting Dale community and informed priority areas for the second round of Mayor of London Future Neighbourhoods funding, which will allow for 12 new environmental projects to be delivered this year through phase 2 of the scheme.

There is one more opportunity for us to bid for more Future Neighbourhoods funding through phase 3 of the fund. Responses from this survey will be used to identify potential environmental projects for Phase 3 of the programme and to help shape the long-term strategy for the programme.
