The Park entrance into the Grove from Muswell Hill – TFL funds for green urban walkways - raised by Ms Myers – Muswell Hill and Fortis Green Association.

In response to the matter raised by Ms Myers,  Mr Loudfoot advised that he had been unable to clarify totally the issue of funding the green urban walkways but that there was ‘Greenways’ funding available which the local authority were obliged to spend. It was a question of monies being allocated to Parkland walks and there was currently a proposed scheme for improvements to the School entrance and bus stop area which may well include or possibly pick up the much needed improvements to the Park entrance.

Ms Myers commented that there certainly a need for signage showing that there was an entrance to the Park and that the entrance area did require some considerable improvement and the possible removal of the canopy and replacement bridge.

Councillor Engert commented that the improvements alluded to were part of the Greenways 2 programme with Sustrans looking into monies being available. The monies for the school etc were separate monies, which would also improve the subways.
