Our environment team manages a range of open spaces including the Garden City Greenway, a 13.6-mile circular route around the garden city that is enjoyed by people of all ages from the community.
In 2019, we set out to get a better understanding of who uses the Greenway, why they use it and how frequently, as well as finding out what people would like to see around the route. We ran a survey to capture this data and the results.
We had a great response and were surprised that so many people use the Greenway every month. We also received useful feedback about how we can improve the route for users, such as better signage, interactive maps and widening paths. Many of these suggestions will feed into our plans for the year ahead.
