      Budget for Parks

      Requested Fri 03 February 2017
      Responded Fri 03 February 2017

      I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 about the budget for public parks and open spaces, including the open spaces as defined by the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 S336.

       

      Can you please acknowledge receipt of my request and disclose:

       

      1) Parks budget in each of the last three financial years, in real terms.

       

      2) For each of the last three financial years, how many commercial bookings have been made for each park, and the total number of days this equates to. And how many of those have led to a park, in whole or in part, being closed to the public - unless they pay.

       

      3) What minimum standards does the council have in terms of park and green space maintenance, security, access, etc., and how many parks and green spaces fall below those standards?
