PROJECT DETAILS
Greenways

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

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.

this project please contact us by filling in our online

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.
