What can we learn from rhe London Assembly's 'Park Life'report?

摘要

The report resulting from the London Assembly Environment Committee's parks inquiry — Park Life: Ensuring Green Spaces Remain a Hit with Londoners — asks London mayor Sadiq Kahn to support local authorities struggling with service transformation andausterity measures. Information gathering and sharing, volunteering and fund-raising are all areas that assembly members think would benefit from the mayor's oversight.Generally parks professionals have welcomed the inquiry and report but they suggest the committee has covered some old ground and failed to go far enough in its recommendations to address London's park problems, particularly funding.
