Purpose and Plan for the Day
Our third day together is all about thinking bigger!
We are going to start the day with a carousel of expert speakers who will spark your imagination. Then it is a bit more idea creation before prioritising which topics are most important for answering your assembly questions.
How can we work together to make our parks and green spaces even better for residents and visitors?
How do we ensure everyone has access to quality green spaces?
Then it is time to start drafting those all important recommendations
