Alternative options considered:

Do Nothing’ This is not recommended as it would fail to secure the £750,000 Mayor of London grant funding for this project and the resource required to develop the design through to delivery. This would stall the project from realising the full potential to transform the park and risk eroding the positive relationship built with residents and park users around this project. Accept the Funding Secure the funding to deliver Phase 1 to enable full delivery of the programme. This is the recommendation of this report.
