Decision details

66/2003 Cabinet agreed that the Green Spaces Regeneration Strategy should be developed as a policy framework document and would be recommended to Council in due course.
67/2003 The Cabinet agreed to the establishment of a member cross party Green Spaces Regeneration Advisory Group, working with officers to oversee the process of policy development and project implementation and encourage partnership working and community participation. It was agreed that this group report on progress to the Cabinet and the Environment and Regeneration and Community Overview and Scrutiny Committees.

The development of a modular Green Spaces Regeneration Strategy responded to the need to deliver cleaner, safer and greener public spaces for everyone. The Medway MORI poll had indicated that the public were less satisfied with parks and green spaces in Medway than other areas of service. The government had also made it clear that local authorities would play a pivotal role in developing partnerships and community engagement to deliver the vision for green spaces regeneration at a local level. Mechanisms for monitoring progress through future targets would be developed.
