PROJECT DETAILS

The Greenways project intends to create a network of walk, path and cycle routes throughout Thornhill enhancing the natural environment, and develop spaces for a range of activity and play opportunities for all.

The map shows proposals which are open for your views. Contact us by filling in our online form

Play

The Playways project is linked closely to both the Greenways and the Better Neighbourhood External Improvements to walk-up blocks projects. We hope to provide exciting, well-designed and creative play opportunities across the Thornhill area for different age and interest groups. Each site on the map was identified as a possible area for play, but we need your views to turn this into reality. Contact us by filling in our online form

Better Neighbourhood External Improvements to walk-up blocks project

This project will improve the spaces around 88 walk-up blocks in Thornhill, shown on the map below. Residents in each block have identified the main issues that they want to see addressed through the project and this includes work to pathways, lighting, cycle storage, drying areas, landscaping and limited parking facilities.

Pilot Project – A pilot project took place between October 2006 to April 2007, with residents in two blocks ( 2-28 Jerome Court and 167-193 Byron Road) identifying priorities for work, then staying involved with the process as the ideas became reality.  

Main Project – The first phase of the work on the remaining 86 blocks has now begun in Byron Road, Gerard Crescent and Burke Drive. Phase 2 will begin in March 2009 and Phase 3 in May 2009. The project will be complete by February 2010.
