35 LEE VALLEY REGIONAL PARK AND WATERWAYS
The Council will work with the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, British Waterways, riparian owners, the EnvironmentAgency and other partners to:
- Improve access to the Lee Valley Regional Park, particularly from residential communities to the west of the park, focusing on two key areas: Ponders End and Central Leeside. The area action plans will propose specific physical infrastructure and/or urban design in order to deliver improved access in these locations;
- Support the work of the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (LVRPA) to realise the potential of the Lee Valley Regional Park. The Park Development Framework being prepared by the LVRPA will inform the preparation of the North East Enfield Area Action Plan, Central Leeside Area Action Plan and evidence base for review of the Core Strategy; and
- Make the best use of the waterway network (part of London’s Blue Ribbon Network) in the Upper Lee Valley, including the River Lee, River Lee Navigation, and the Turkey, Salmons and Pymmes Brooks, seeking to fully restore the waterways and improve their pathways, and facilities for freight, recreational and educational use.
