Role of Myatt's Fields Park Project |
|
Myatt's Fields Park Project is a charity led by local people that supports the park. We have a management agreement with Lambeth Council that means from 2021 - 2023 we provide:
* horticultural maintenance including flower beds, mowing and hedge maintenance. Lambeth is responsible for maintenance of trees and hedges above 6ft
* where we can afford it, we will contribute to reactive maintenance (eg mending equipment). Otherwise Lambeth is responsible for capital maintenance of the park.
* income generation for the park
* volunteering, training and employability opportunities for local people
* point of contact for local people
* engagement activities such as events - each year these can include the summer fair, Black History event, Pride picnic, harvest festival, Christmas carols and a market
* host a range of local organisations including Lambeth Tigers football club, Mulberry Pre-school, Little Cat Cafe. Mulberry Pre-school offers two Stay and Play sessions per week for local families.
Lambeth remains the owner of the park and is responsible for setting and the enforcement of bye-laws.
