Starting at Ladbroke Grove, the boat tour showcased positive examples of community-led regeneration and improvement, such as through the community efforts of Hermione Byrt and Chandrika Dalpat at Meanwhile Gardens<sup>5<\/sup>, to offer inspiration. Other sites, such as the Westway flyover, are identified as spaces that pose long-standing, complex design and governance challenges, as explained to the group on the day by Matt Hopkins of Group 19 Architects. A prior community engagement initiative \u2018Building Dialogues\u2019, hosted by Your Canal Boat CIC earlier in 2023, focused on canal side interventions beneath the Westway Flyover. Throughout the event, each site was presented by the Lead stakeholder, followed by a discussion with the rest of the group on the opportunities and challenges faced by stakeholders of each site. Common themes identified at the event included a complex array of shared ownership arrangements, security challenges, access to nature, ecology and sustainability of these sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"294\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/01\/Picture-3-from-Canalside.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4984\" style=\"width:267px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"294\" height=\"125\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2024\/01\/Picture-4-CS.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4994\" style=\"width:265px;height:auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Neglected sites include \u2018The Stumpery\u2019 at Ladbroke Grove (second image) and The Westway Flyover<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The event was attended by members of Westminster Council\u2019s place-shaping team, the Greater London Authority\u2019s Nature Recovery Programme, Paddington Development Trust, Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation, Your Canal Boat CIC, Imperial College and Loughborough University, amongst others and many community groups with stakes in the sites.
