Heywood Green Infrastructure plan
This consultation has
now finished.
Green Infrastructure is the term we use to
describe how green spaces, trees and woodlands and water bodies
provide benefits and services to support Heywood’s community,
economy and environment. These features and areas help to support
daily life, health and well-being and future growth in Heywood and
its neighbouring towns by providing a variety of environmental
services such as recreational space, accessible wildlife, managing
flood risk and helping Heywood adapt to climate change.
The draft Heywood Green Infrastructure Plan
has been produced to set out how Heywood can gain the maximum
benefit from its green spaces and water bodies and be an important
part of a bigger Green Infrastructure network providing benefits
for Rochdale borough and Greater Manchester.
Draft
Heywood Green Infrastructure Plan (2.08MB)
The Heywood Green Infrastructure Plan will
help to deliver the vision and priorities set out in the Heywood
Township Plan for delivering the physical regeneration and the
prosperity and well being of Heywood’s community. The Plan will be
supported by an annually updated work programme, including short,
medium and long-term projects, which the Township Committee will
endorse.
We would like your views on the draft plan. It
would be particularly helpful if you could consider the following
questions when responding:
- Are there any issues we have not addressed
but which you feel should be included?
- What are the important Green Infrastructure
issues for you?
- Do you have any ideas for Green
Infrastructure projects in Heywood to deliver benefits in your
neighbourhood or the wider Township?
- Is the document clear?
- Is the structure of the document right?
The draft document will be available for
consultation until
Thursday 12 August 2010 at the following
venues:
Crimble Croft Community Centre
Darnhill Library (Closed Wednesdays)
Phoenix Centre
Heywood Library
