Stevenage: Residents asked to share their views on parks

Stevenage Borough Council want to know what residents would like to see from their parks in the future, and will be developing action plans for all of the major parks in the town.

Each action plan will set the council's priorities for each park over the next ten years and help to identify the resources required to do so.

Drop-in sessions will be held throughout July and August for residents to share their thoughts.

A council spokesperson said: “Parks and green spaces are important for our physical and mental health and wellbeing, and we want to ensure that residents are getting the most out of them now and in the future.

“If you can’t make it to an in-person event, then please do fill in our survey to share your views.”
