Have your say on parks and green spaces
Forty two of Trafford’s premier parks, cemeteries, gardens and countryside sites will be judged again this month (August) as part of the annual Trafford Greenspace Awards - and local people can have their say.
The awards take information from biannual independent maintenance inspections, a judge’s site inspection and feedback from the GreenSTAT online public opinion survey managed by GreenSpace; the national charity for parks and green spaces.
The scheme includes less obvious but equally important sites such as areas around Stretford Mall and small community parks.
All this information taken together gives a balanced view of each site, allowing awards to be made. In addition this process importantly highlights areas for improvement which helps us to improve the sites and further raise standards.
Executive councillor Jonathan Coupe said: “I would encourage all park users to go online and take part in the survey, which celebrates our parks and green spaces and Trafford as a green borough. It is also another way for local people to give us information to help us maintain and improve these sites, so that we can continue to provide high quality spaces for people to enjoy.”
Park users of all ages and backgrounds are invited to take part in the GreenSTAT survey.
The form only takes a few minutes to complete and can be done online at www.greenstat.org.uk, select North West, then Greater Manchester, then Trafford and select the site you wish to comment on.
