The Green Ring
What is it?
In 2023, we secured funding from the Mayor of London’s Green and Resilient Spaces fund to implement this strategy and deliver the ‘Green Ring’ - a new 6.3km walking and cycling route that connects and celebrates Northolt’s green spaces.
There will be a series of greening projects along the route, including park improvements and new seasonal ponds in Belvue Park to reduce flooding. This is financially supported by Thames Water and the Ashara Mubaraka London Event, as a part of its lasting legacy and contribution to Northolt. The Green Ring is further supported by local partners including Belvue High School and the Canal & River Trust.
