A Member expressed concern regarding the audit of open spaces and hoped there would not be any selling off or re-purposingof them. The Assistant Director, Carbon Management and Greenspace responded and said that this was not the purpose of the audit, but rather the purpose was to see how the land and open spaces could be better utilised. A Member commented that it was sad that momentum had been lost and warned against ‘bureaucratic creep’ which strangled the enthusiasm of volunteers. She encouraged the Council to maintain close links with the Friends Forum. She suggested that it may be prudent (in view of lost momentum) for a six monthly update report to be presented to the Committee. 

 

RESOLVED that the Open Spaces Strategy—Year 1 Update be noted.
