A LITLE SACRIFICE FOR BIG GAINS
HOW MUCH GREEN SPACE DO WE HAVE IN HERNE HILL.
HOW MUCH OF BROCKWELL PARK IS NEEDED TO ENSURE SAFE JUNCTION IMPROVEMENTS, NOT FORGETTING THE ENHANCEMENTS TO PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND THE REDESIGN OF THE PARK ENTRANCE.
The Herne Hill ward for which statistics are available has three open spaces.
Brockwell Park, being the biggest park in Lambeth over 50 hectares , Milkwood and Ruskin Parks.
The Land Mass of the ward is 202.7 hectares and the percentage of open space in the ward is a whopping 31%. The borough proportion is about 6%( subject to confirmation)
So Brockwell Park covers just over 25% of the ward's land mass.
The amount of land required for the Junction project is .001% of Brockwell Park
or the park.
Brockwell Park does of course serve a much wider area than the Ward it is bounded by
Tulsehill, Thurlow Park and Village Wards Coldharbour and Brixton Hill are close by.
On the other hand the vast swathes of Dulwich's Green Spaces are within walking distance
