Park and 'micro-forest' plan for unused land
Briefly

Richmond Council announced plans to transform Oldfield Road Meadow in Hampton into a public nature conservation area, aiming to create a greener borough.
The development will include a micro-forest, play equipment, and footpaths, while ensuring part of the area remains undisturbed to protect wildlife.
Council representatives stated, 'The proposals will align with the key aims of the Corporate Plan, creating a greener borough through enhancements to the nature conservation interest to the site.'
This initiative not only enhances local biodiversity but also aims to discourage crime and antisocial behavior, addressing previous concerns regarding unauthorized access.
