Join us in Highgate Road on Wednesday May 3 from midday to tell us what you think of the proposal to improve this thoroughfare.
DPNF was awarded CIL Funding in 2022 to develop initial sketch proposals (from 2020) into a more developed scheme, with a spending deadline of the end of the 2022/23 Tax Year. The perspective view above is a result of the efforts. Highgate Fold: Where does this name come from? Historically, shepherds used to graze their sheep near the site in Kentish Town green. A traditional safe enclosure for a sheep flock is called a fold. Our community can have its own protected sanctuary, where people can enjoy the calm of greenery, have a rest, or get involved in healthy gardening. The concept is to ensure our built environment is also a space that can connect us to the natural environment – to recreate links to the fields and green spaces of Kentish Town for the benefit residents and users. Outline Brief: This project was identified originally in our Neighbourhood Plan as something that could contribute to the achievement of the Plan’s objectives (Project number 7, p. 139). The proposed improvement to the area is based on original community input and subsequent feedback between 2020 and 2023. Acting on community feedback, the DPNF will look to support the next stage of fundraising for further development, construction and maintenance. |
