The review covers open space sites, green corridors, public parks, natural and semi-natural green spaces, amenity greenspace, allotments, cemeteries, churchyards and burial grounds, indoor leisure facilities, and playspaces and recreation space publicly accessible by children and young people.

It also includes an assessment of accessibility to public open space, areas of deficiency in access, and a biodiversity review of all Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs).

The strategy will provide evidence to inform and influence new Local Plan policies, inform the Infrastructure Needs Assessment, support health and wellbeing priorities, and provide updates for the Merton Greenspaces and Leisure Team.

The contract value is £42,125.
