Parks for Nottingham
Nottingham is working with its communities and partners to make their parks and open spaces are sustainable for the future. This will contribute to an ambitious 25-year strategy for the city’s parks and open spaces service.
About the project
It is important for Nottingham to understand what people want and need from their parks for the future, and they want to get more people actively involved in how their parks are developed and managed. Therefore, consultation and community engagement is at the heart of this project.Volunteering is happening in parks and open spaces and great things are being achieved – either through friend groups, corporate groups, organised sessions or as individuals. They’ve carried out a review of current volunteering and identified how they can develop a new volunteer programme. This will offer an improved range of opportunities and support to our volunteers, in turn enabling them all to improve our parks and open spaces.
The project aims to
Explore ways to generate income to provide long-term financial support for parks and open spaces.
Review current strategies as well as local and national policy.
Produce a quality audit of our parks which will give us important data on wildlife, the city’s tree canopy and the blue and green infrastructure.
Look at commercial opportunities in parks and open spaces.
Create an improved volunteering programme with a wide range of opportunities and better support for volunteers.
