WATERLOO OPEN SPACES FORUM
Tuesday 11 March
6.30pm-9pm  at Weston Roof Pavilion, Royal Festival Hall,
Belvedere Road
All campaigners and carers for green places in Waterloo are
invited to this one-off Forum meeting to share ideas and
knowledge towards a schedule of key projects. This event is
organised by the Waterloo Open Spaces Partnership through
Waterloo Community Development Group, and Bankside Open
Spaces Trust, with funding from Lambeth Council via WaCoCo.
"Waterloo has an amazing richness of community-managed green
places, including Bernie Spain Gardens, Jubilee Gardens and
our own Waterloo Millennium Green, as well as part community
management at St John's Churchyard, Archbishop's Park,
Hatfields Green and Ufford Street," said Helen Firminger,
director of Bankside Open Spaces Trust "Coming together as a
group to see how we can make the most of our strengths has
got to be a first principle, long term security for all
green space is the vision." Michael Ball of WCDG added: "One
of the key issues we want to crack open is financial: the
revenue requirements all open space management generates,
the general fact that local government is not providing
revenue funding, and the observation that money doesn't grow
on trees."
