The new Parks Action Group will include experts from the world of horticulture, leisure, heritage and tourism, and will be tasked with bringing forward proposals to address some of the issues faced by public parks and other green spaces across England. To support them, Government is providing £500,000 funding to kick start their work.
The action group will propose steps which can be taken in line with the Government response to the recent House of Common’s Communities and Local Government Select Committee report into the future of parks and green spaces.
