Rygate and Banstead Borough Council inviting everyone who visits the borough's green spaces to help shape a new strategy that will make sure its parks and open spaces continue to meet the needs of local people and wildlife. You can tell I'm reading that off a press release, can't you? Help shape a new strategy.

Rygate and Banstead Borough Council inviting everyone who visits the borough's green spaces to help shape a new strategy that will make sure its parks and open spaces continue to meet the needs of local people and wildlife. You can tell I'm reading that off a press release, can't you? Help shape a new strategy.

Now, essentially, it's called the Green Spaces Strategy, and it's going to be looking at what people want out of parks. So that could be your Priory or your Memorial, but also your Merston Rex or your Battle Bridges area where they've got the running track and things like that.

Now and also in the future, improving the quality of what is there, the facilities, but also the turf and the paving and the trees and that kind of stuff. And also the accessibility. Can you actually get to it? Is there parking available? Is there accessibility for people with additional needs? That kind of thing.

Can you actually get to it? Is there parking available? Is there accessibility for people with additional needs? That kind of thing.

And this whole strategy is going to provide a clear and structured approach to managing the borough's green spaces to meet the needs of local people and wildlife. So it's not just those kind of organised green spaces, but it's some of those other areas which you couldn't call a park, you couldn't call a wreck.

But maybe, for example, the triangle of land just at the top of, you know, in Earlswood there, just on the corner. Yeah, just on the corner before you go up the hill and down to, you know where I mean, just opposite the pub there, where the Earlswood Carnival is. Yeah. Has it got a name, that area there? Anyway, so it's that kind of thing as well.

Again, the council needs to know what you want them to know so they can do something about it or not. They've got the final decision, but again, they need to know what you want them to know. And anyone can have their say by completing a short survey about their experiences of the borough's green spaces and how they can be improved.

Bit of a mouthful. If you want to know more, get in touch with me and I'll put you in touch with them. Incidentally, bestopenspaces.com. for shady walks so there wouldn't really be open spaces would they there'd be shaded spaces for shady walks over the summer months that list coming up in a few minutes time Tim emails me, Tim Bellers.

He says, Hi Peter, a few months ago you featured me via my very good friend Dave Setters, who suffers from motor neurons disease. Yeah, I remember this. And Dave is an avid campaigner for MNDA. It's another one of those really horrific conditions, isn't it? I was speaking to somebody about this at the Town Hall a couple of days ago.

Anyway, on Saturday the 20th of July, says Tim, I completed my seventh marathon. It actually happened to be in Germany. Seventh marathon in seven months in seven countries. It was a whole challenge for MNDA. I remember mentioning this to him. And he says, I've just passed the £4,000 mark and would appreciate any publicity to push the total nearer to £5,000. Boy, oh boy. £4,000 is a terrific sum.

But when you compare that with an ROI, return on investment of running seven marathons in seven months in seven countries, It doesn't really seem enough, does it? So Tim says, as I say, I'd really appreciate any publicity to push the total nearer 5k. I said to Tim, can people take your email address, Tim? And he said, yes, of course they can. So here it is.
