Green and open spaces

Every park, however small, is precious. Young people need places where they can play sports or just hang out, keeping them off the streets and giving them some independence and interest. The Green Party has supported “friends” groups and helped direct “planning gain” money into improving parks and small green spaces. I am a member of the Friends of Sheaf Valley Park (the green area between the Station and Park Hill). I want the pedestrian routes to be improved, with better lighting, to encourage more people to walk to town. A new pedestrian/cycle bridge to link Park Hill to the city centre is a possibility which would greatly benefit our area
