Issue - meetings

To seek support for adoption and implementation of the Green Space Strategy and Delivery Plan.

Consideration was given to the Green Space Strategy and delivery plan for 2023 to 2033. During discussion, a member asked whether any sites outside of Hinckley were included and Council was reminded that open space outside of Hinckley was generally managed by the relevant parish council, but that countryside sites under the council’s management, such as Burbage Common, were included in this strategy. A member’s concern about provision of pitches for organised sport was also acknowledged.

It was moved by Councillor Hodgkins, seconded by Councillor Bray and unanimously

RESOLVED –

(i)            The Green Space Strategy and delivery plan be adopted;

(ii)          The capital investment and budget requirements for schemes over the term of the plan be approved;

(iii)         Delivery of the strategy and plan be delegated to the Head of Street Scene Services and Executive member for Parks, Open Spaces and Neighbourhood Services.
