Green spaces

Summary

Green spaces play a crucial role in our towns. They provide habitats for various plants and animals, enriching our ecosystems, whilst helping clean the air and mitigating pollution. Access to greenery positively impacts mental health and physical well-being, so whether it's a community allotment or a town park, green spaces enhance our lives.

Community allotments

Community allotments serve as valuable green spaces, providing a range of benefits. They foster social interaction, bringing people together with a shared purpose and engaging in gardening activities promotes physical well-being and fresh air. Additionally, these allotments yield local produce, reducing food miles and supporting sustainable living.
