Parks and Open Spaces Strategy

Scope of the strategy

This strategy will create a strategic framework for developing and managing open spaces directly owned by us and will:-

1. define what we mean by the term 'open space'.
2. ensure that the strategy reflects the major changes that influence open space provision
3. consult the community and stakeholders to determine views and expectations of local provision
4. draw together all the information that is currently held within the Council and wherever possible map our open space using the geographical information system (GIS)
5. assess the quality and value of our open spaces
6. assess maintenance standards and consider what other policies or services have an impact on how we develop and manage our public space
7. confirm our policy in relation to public space both now and for future planning
8. develop an action plan to implement the strategy
9. not go into detail about development and event activities already embedded in our youth, sport and leisure, play and culture strategies.
