More Improvements to Highbury Fields
Your local Liberal Democrat Councillors are committed to improving and protecting this unique and well-used open space for local residents and visitors alike.
Record amounts of funding have been secured by your Councillors. Spending on facilities on and around Highbury Fields has begun, and more is planned.
Already we have seen:
- Over £1 million spent on the extension to Highbury Pool to improve the gym and sauna, and to build new fitness rooms;
- The installation of solar panels on the roof of Highbury Pool to reduce its energy costs;
- New fencing and gates at the Childrens’ Play Area;
- New benches and litter bins installed, with more on the way;
- Repairs to fencing around the park;
- Soil and turf repairs underway and new planting coming shortly.
Cllr. Terry Stacy, who has been leading the campaign to get Highbury Fields improved, said, “Working with local residents, the Council has developed a clear vision for this great open space. These are just a few of the improvements people told us they want to see.”
He was joined by fellow Highbury East Cllr. Laura Willoughby, who said, “We hope this is just the beginning. There is still a lot to do, so watch this space!”
