A range of consultation has taken place with residents in relation to green space,
including a Community & Young Persons survey, a Public Satisfaction with Parks
& Open Spaces report and the Blaby Residents survey. Common themes can be
drawn from these different consultations, these are shown below:
Increasing the amount of provision for teenagers
Increasing the amount of park furniture (benches, bins & lighting)
Reducing the amount of dog fouling
Satisfaction levels with open spaces remains high
Only a small proportion of local residents want to
volunteer at a local open
space.
