Green Infrastructure, Energy and Water in the Community

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

Keeping in line with the Draft London Environment Strategy, we are looking for a voluntary and community sector organisation to i) build community capacity in order to embed the Mayor's environmental ambitions in Kingston's residents' aspirations, such as Friends of Groups. ii) reach beyond the traditionally environmentally aware groups to enable the wider community to gain skills and a sense of ownership around nature resources we all use. iii) identifying and develop potential projects which demonstrate: - water friendly solutions in private and public open spaces such as green roofs, storm ponds, sustainable urban drainages, rain harvesting systems and permeable cycle lanes - people using less water from the main for uses other than drinking, personal hygiene and cooking - connected and rich in biodiversity green infrastructure such as green corridors, tree lined pedestrianised roads,riparian river vegetation, wildlife overpasses over large road links like the A3 and many more. - opportunities reducing people's exposure to poor air quality such as vegetated cycle lanes, strategically placed and maintained species-rich hedgerows and stone walls - decentralised energy networks and smart energy systems reducing people's vulnerability to energy security fluctuations
