East London water park scheme gains ground

  • 2021-04-01
A project to create a dedicated nature reserve on a site in Waltham Forest’s Lea Bridge Road is now underway.

If successful, the community-led scheme will see the creation of the East London Water Works Park on an almost six-hectare site uniting several historic filter beds, once the property of Thames Water. The park will join together Walthamstow and Leyton Marshes in the north, the Middlesex filter beds and Hackney Marshes in the south along with the River Lea towpath in the west and the Waterworks nature Reserve located to the east.

The new project is supported by several organisations including the London Wildlife Trust and CPRE London. Schemes seeking funding can sometimes rely on expert printing services to create promotional folders and case studies that fully explain their intentions to investors.

The Plans now in motion will develop a 'brownfield rainforest' – a derelict industrial site no longer in use that has been transformed into a protective environment for local wildlife. Research carried out by ecologists indicates that such industrial wastelands can offer an extensive variety of natural habitats for natural flora and fauna and may support a higher level of biodiversity than conventional green spaces in urban areas.

The East London Waterworks Park scheme has now entered its initial phase and is raising necessary funds via its dedicated crowdfunding campaign.
