Dover District Council is undertaking a consultation tomorrow (2nd May) on Parks and Amenity Open Space. This strategy document will be out for public consultation for twelve weeks from 2nd May to midnight on 25th July 2013.
Open space which is accessible to the public is essential to urban areas, providing significant quality of life and health benefits for the local community. It can also contribute towards improving the appearance of the built environment; managing flood risk; attracting new business and investment and promoting a sense of place and community identity. Dover District is well provided with parks and amenity open space, including traditional civic parks, urban green spaces, green corridors, village greens, informal kick-about areas, informal playable space and closed churchyards. However, there are gaps in provision and in some cases the quality falls below expected standards.
In this strategy recently updated audit findings for accessible green space are analysed, strategic sites are identified and action plans are presented. Information presented in the strategy will help to ensure existing funds are deployed as efficiently as possible and identify priorities for applications to secure external funding.
To view the document, please call into one of Dover District Council's offices.

Perhaps, as this is the twenty-first century, the 'document' might find it's way onto the World-Wide-Web, perhaps not.
The final report that ran from 2008 to 2012 is online...
