We are contacting you as you have previously expressed an interest in local planning matters and your details are included on our consultation database.
We are asking residents, businesses and interested parties for their opinions on public open space in the Borough.
Public open space provides opportunities for sport and recreation, socialising, tourism and wildlife, making an important contribution to the health and wellbeing of communities, ecosystems and economies. Bury has a variety of public open spaces from Diggle Lane allotments, to small local play areas and the larger parks such as Burrs Country Park.
Formal sport provision such as tennis and football clubs are not included as part of this survey. These are covered as part of a different, sports focused, study.
We want to hear from you to ensure that we are providing accessible, high quality sites that meet the needs and aspirations of local communities, local people and people who work in or visit the area. By completing the survey you will provide valuable information that we will use to inform the new Local Plan and future investment decisions as part of an up to date strategy for public open spaces.
