ABOUT THE EAST MIDLANDS
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK

The Assembly and partners wish to build upon what we have achieved so far in delivery of GI around the region, by continuing to influence the right people and joining up all the myriad of work that is ongoing around the region at local, sub regional and regional scale.  We are aiming to bring together all these people from around the region to participate in one cohesive overall network, called the GIN. The East Midlands Green Infrastructure Network (GIN) will aim to help to promote the multiple public benefits of green infrastructure to planning authorities and the private sector (such as regeneration, construction and property development specialists.  It will also provide a platform for the sharing of ideas and experiences of those professionals and volunteers who are delivering green infrastructure around the region at regional, sub regional and local levels.

The network will aim to encourage the integration of green infrastructure in all future physical infrastructure developments.

As part of this programme, the River Nene Regional Park Team, on behalf of the East Midlands Regional Assembly and its partners, have been running a series of seminars in each County in the region to discuss Green Infrastructure delivery, and launched a subsequent, more technical round with a full day event in Northampton. These will expand on the concept of Green Infrastructure, explaining what has happened so far and what is happening in the future, with practical training sessions on the Northamptonshire Environmental Character Suite.
