Brent has been awarded funding to make local school street areas more green, vibrant, and resilient to the climate emergency.

Funding in Brent will be used as part of a school greening project, where the council with work with local schools and community groups to plant new street trees, flowerbeds, and rain gardens. The schools included are:

  • Crownhill School Street Scheme - John Keble CofE Primary, Maple Walk, and St Claudine's Catholic School for Girls
  • Our Lady of Grace Infants School
  • Leopold Primary (Hawkshead)
  • Oakington Manor Primary

The aim is to make green spaces more resilient to flooding and other extreme weather, support biodiversity and encourage more Londoner’s to walk and cycle.

Councillor Krupa Sheth, cabinet member for environment said:

“I am delighted that we have been awarded funding to plant more trees, encourage biodiversity and make Brent streets greener.

“

We are committed to working with the local community to become more sustainable so that we can reach our target of becoming a carbon neutral borough by 2030.

”

"This funding will allow us to work with schools and the community to make the local area more resilient to the effects of the climate emergency.

"Projects like this are vital in order for us to reach our sustainable targets, as they will encourage more residents to walk and cycle. We know this has a number of benefits such as improving health and well-being, air quality, and reducing carbon emissions."

The funding is part of the Mayor of London's Green and Healthy Streets fund that has awarded £2.85m to 11 boroughs.

Why are these schools included in TfL’s programme?

Projects located in areas of highest climate vulnerability, according to the GLA, along with greatest potential to increase walking trips were prioritised.

How can the local community get involved?

The council will work with the schools and local community to design the schemes. More information on how to get involved will become available in due course on the council’s Travel and Transport web page.

For more information read the GLA press release.
