Have your say on Hinckley's parks

The survey suggests plans to improve play equipment and plant new trees.

Hinckley and Bosworth residents are being asked to have their say on the local council-maintained parks and open spaces.

The new Green Space Strategy has been launched to see what people want to improve. 

Councillor Lynda Hodgkins, Executive member responsible for Parks and Open Spaces, said: “In the ten years since previous Green Space strategy was published, the Borough Council has made considerable improvements to its own parks and open spaces and has assisted many Parish Councils to do the same through the Parish and Community Initiative fund.

“This strategy builds on these successes and maps out the improvements and changes for the next four years. It keeps this activity to the forefront of the council’s aims and ambitions, recognising the priority given to this work by those living and working in the area.

“I would encourage all residents to fill in a questionnaire and let us know what they think about the strategy.”

The survey suggests plans to improve play equipment and plant new trees and bulbs in a range of parks and open spaces.
