OXFORD City Council is seeking the public's feedback on the city's open spaces as it looks to improve services on offer.

Residents are being asked their views as part of a satisfaction survey, which will ask what people think of their local green spaces and their facilities, how they travel there, and what they use them for.

In the past the questionnaires have provided an evidence base that customers would like to see toilets, infrastructure, play areas and pavilions improved.

Executive board member for Healthy Oxford Louise Upton, said: “With so many residents using our parks regularly it’s important that these spaces continue to best reflect the needs of their visitors.

"I encourage everyone to respond to the consultation and let us know what they think about the parks they use, large or small, wherever they enjoy the great outdoors in Oxford."

Started in 2000 and last carried out in 2015, the information provided by the survey will be used to improve services, provide evidence for capital bids, and for assessment of trends over time.

2018 will see £100,000 invested to improve parks and play areas within Oxford, with £20,000 already spent on a zip wire installation and landscaping improvements at Florence Park, while £10,000 was spent to make improvements to the entrance at Botley Park as well as installing new animal-proof bins..
