The Open Space Strategy for South Staffordshire has been prepared following the completion of a lengthy and detailed audit of open spaces across the district. The Council is now at the stage where the results of the Open Space Audit need to be taken forward through the preparation of a robust strategy that guides the way in which all issues in relation to open space are addressed over the next ten years.
This adopted strategy document summarises the key findings of the Open Space Audit and details the Council's vision for open spaces in the District. The accompanying action plan identifies objectives that will enable the vision to be achieved. The document is intended to be straightforward and comprises of just five key chapters that set out the vision, the current picture in relation to open space, ways to achieve the vision and the objectives and actions that form the basis for delivering the strategy.
Over the next ten years, delivery against the action plan will ensure that open spaces in the District are of high value in all respects and are valued by the whole community.
