Green and open spaces

Parks and green spaces are essential to our towns and cities. They breathe life into communities, bringing charm, beauty, character, wildlife and a sense of place. Decent parks and green spaces not only contribute to a higher quality of physical environment, but also assist in area regeneration and contribute to the health and well-being of local residents as a network of spaces. Below is a list legislation relating to green open spaces, together with examples of best practice.
