These awards are not just a celebration of our parks and green spaces. They are a direct reflection of the ambitions set out in the Lambeth Borough Plan 2030.
The Plan’s vision is for a borough where everyone can thrive, with social and climate justice at its heart.
Our success at London in Bloom demonstrates how we are making Lambeth’s neighbourhoods fit for the future, supporting health and wellbeing, and ensuring that every resident has access to high-quality, sustainable green spaces.
These achievements show the power of partnership between the council, local organisations, and residents to deliver lasting change for our communities.
Word from the cabinet
Cllr Donatus Anyanwu, Cabinet Member for Stronger Communities, said:
“Our parks and green spaces are at the heart of Lambeth’s communities. These awards reflect the hard work, passion, and partnership of everyone involved; staff, volunteers, and our invaluable community partners”
”They show what we can achieve when we work together to build a borough where everyone can thrive, where our neighbourhoods are greener, safer, and more inclusive. We are committed to ensuring that every resident can enjoy these spaces, now and for generations to come.’’
Lambeth Council extends its gratitude to all who contributed to this success and looks forward to building on these achievements in the coming year.
