Title: Council Consultation on Parks and Open Spaces
Post by: admin on July 19, 2016, 09:56:48 AM
The council is conducting a survey on their open spaces.

This is an opportunity to tell them how important Marple Memorial Park (and other local parks and open spaces) are to you:

Also done.  And it's a good opportunity to mention that public spaces need public toilets!

Done.  And I have made my views clear regarding Mill Brow play area.  Also I think the last question re 'tick four options' is a bit of a cheek.  Every option is important - and I said that as well.

Of course they are all important, or they wouldn't be on the consultation. But they want to know which you think are the MOST important so they can get a sense on which to prioritise. If there was an endless bucket of money for stuff like this, they wouldn't need the consultation because they could do it all. What they want to know is that if you have to chose (and as this is publicly funded we do have to chose) where do you want the money to go.

A better question then would be to rank in order of priority.

A Public Inquiry into the future of public parks has been launched by the Government this month:

This includes a survey for people who use their public parks, so please have your say on this one too:
