Battersea Park, SW11 - Strategic Management and Maintenance Plan - retender

Description

A new 10 year Management and Maintenance Plan (MMP) is needed for Battersea Park, with a 25 year vision for conservation and enhancements. The current plan is dated 2011-2020, with annual updates made to maintain Green Flag requirements. The 83-hectare park has been the subject of a wide range of changes since its opening by Queen Victoria in 1858. As one of the first public parks to be laid out by a municipality anywhere in the world, Battersea Park is one of the most important urban parks in Europe. It is listed as Grade II* on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens and is an important ecological resource. It is a major events, sports, and leisure site, with some feeling that there has been a gradual erosion of the park fabric through the demands and pressures of a highly used park. A comprehensive review of management and maintenance protocols is required, to identify and reflect risks and opportunities to be addressed ove
