Have your say on the future of the City's green and open spaces
A series of meetings is about to start
to give local people and organisations the opportunity to express the views
about the future of Liverpool's green and open spaces.
They have been organised by the newly established:- 'Strategic Green and Open Space
Review Board', which has been set up by the Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, to
look at the future of the City's green and open spaces.
The Board is chaired by actor, TV presenter and environmentalist Simon O'Brien
who, along with other board members, will engage with the public and any
business or organisation with an interest in open spaces.
Simon said;- "We know Liverpool people are passionate about their parks,
play areas and other green and open spaces and we want them to have their say
about their future.
We are on the lookout for ideas and suggestions which will help us to advise the
City on how to preserve the long term future of some of the region's most
cherished spaces at a time when there is dwindling resources. This is not just
an issue which affects Liverpool. With pressure on the public finances of every
Town and City throughout the region and across the country there will be a lot
of interest in Liverpool as we gather evidence and grapple with this hot topic.
I would urge people to come to the meetings and let us have their views and
ideas as they could well influence how green and open spaces develop in the
years to come."
