Part I: Decision Makers’ Ideas for Change

Protect and maintain public space

Protect and maintain public space

Protect parks and outdoor spaces, which are so important to people’s health and wellbeing.

“Park crucial – value of the parks during the pandemic – Continue improvements and sustain the facilities”

“Maintain the fantastic work the parks department does Highlight the importance of parks and green spaces”

Keep parks tidy and well-maintained so they’re used to the full.

“People want/appreciate nice, tidy areas on their doorstep. Focus has to be on upkeeping our areas to a quality standard”

Make public space accessible and welcoming to residents with different needs, with things like benches, attractive shops and so on.

“More benches in Bramley shopping centre so individuals can sit and chat – community vibe which would be most welcomed.”
