Open Spaces in Areas of Deficiency

7.11 The Council recognises that certain areas in the District are deficient in open space, and this detrimentally affects the quality of life of residents in these areas. Methods of improving provision may include increasing the range of facilities, promoting better use of open spaces by introducing good design to reduce crime, or improving accessibility. The Council will carry out some of these activities or, in other cases, the Council will seek to influence private landowners, developers or local communities to achieve necessary action.

7.12 The role of the local community in identifying the need for open space and the way it is used is more likely to reflect the particular needs and aspirations of the residents of an area. The aim is that all people will have convenient and safe access to a range of open space facilities, and that they will be encouraged to use them.
