Public invited to have their say on plans for city’s parks and green spaces

These facilities are for everyone to enjoy, and the council wants greater access for all communities, with improved recreation, sport and leisure opportunities, and greater sports participation. 

The strategy will not only focus on community benefits but also ways to promote biodiversity and encouraging wildlife.

Some of the issues up for discussion include:

• How we can best manage different kinds of green space given the mix of facilities – from our many historic parks to our valued allotments, children’s playgrounds to our peaceful cemeteries
• What more can be done to promote accessibility for all
• Where do we best use limited resources, to get the best results for the most people and maximise opportunities for external funding?

Councillor Emma Hampton, cabinet member for a climate responsive Norwich said: “Our city is rightly proud of being one of the greenest in England, and we want to enhance some of our best assets.  I’d encourage people to take this opportunity to share with us what they want to see and let’s hear some really innovative ideas how we can make our parks and green spaces even better.”
