Delivering a Cleaner Northolt
What is it?
Ensuring that Northolt is a clean and resilient environment is important to local people. In 2022, Ealing Council and local partners secured support from the Mayor of London to develop a ‘Future Neighbourhood Strategy’ for Northolt.

The Green Ring
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.
