The Open Space Strategy (OSS) sets out our vision for how open spaces will be protected, enhanced, and developed. It’s based on extensive research, site assessments, and community feedback.

We’ve prepared a range of documents to support this consultation.

Please take a moment to explore them and share your views:

Open Space Strategy Consultation Booklet
A summary of our draft strategy, including key themes, goals, and proposals

Quality Assessment
The criteria used to assess the quality of open spaces across the area

Open Space Survey Report

Play Sufficiency Survey Report

Open Space Audit Results

We want to hear from you! Whether you’re a resident, community group, or local organisation, your views will help shape the final strategy. This survey should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

The survey will close on 6 February 2026.
