CouncilGet Involved
There are many ways for local residents, workers and visitors to get involved and have their say in the improvement of parks and open spaces in the borough.
Park user survey
The parks user survey is an opportunity for anyone who uses the parks in the borough to tell the council what they think. This survey is very important: the results from the survey are used to identify areas of improvements and developments.
