COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PARKS AND OPEN SPACES
Open spaces play a vital part in enhancing community cohesion and providing a healthy environment to both relax and play in. A large part of the success our public open space lies with involvement from the local community.
A number of independent groups exist to support the Council in the management and maintenance of open spaces.
