Have your say in the Broxtowe Parks and Opens Spaces Survey!

Councillor Helen Skinner, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Climate Change said, ‘Councillor Helen Skinner, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Climate Change said, ‘Our parks and open spaces are the heart of our community, and this annual survey is your opportunity to tell us what’s working well and where you’d like to see improvements. Whether you use these spaces for play, relaxation or exercise, your feedback helps us shape their future to ensure they meet the needs of the community.’

Responses to the consultation can help to guide improvements to green spaces across the Borough. Following feedback from residents in the 2024 survey path improvements have been completed at Archers Field, Stapleford and Coronation Park in Eastwood, as well as planting an orchard for community use at Banks Road Open Space in Toton.

The selection of parks in the survey is determined through a regular cycle, which ensures all of the Council’s parks are surveyed over the course of three years as part of the Pride in Parks initiative.

The survey only takes a few minutes and asks residents to tell the Council how they feel about selected local parks and open spaces by providing ratings on signage, cleanliness, facilities and the approach to nature and wildlife.

Residents can have their say by completing the survey online (opens in a new window). The survey will be open until Monday 1 September 2025.

The consultation also supports the Council to uphold the Broxtowe Parks Standard. This standard is achieved by sites with high resident satisfaction, which this survey helps to assess.
