Several open spaces on the estates were fenced off and rarely used before the work started. Some residents were concerned that opening up the spaces might encourage anti-social behaviour. In reality, the opposite has happened, with the spaces now more widely used and valued. Construction works close to residents’ homes and altering access routes were also a concern for some residents. This was expected and managed through Groundwork London’s Community Projects Officer and relevant council teams.
