Margate Open Space Event Group 4
Session 2
Discussion led by Margaret Main
Key discussion points/themes:
- Conservation officer for green spaces needed for Thanet
- Too much focus on built environment and not enough on green spaces
- Flower beds and topiary have disappeared in favour of low cost / low maintenance gardens
- Council needs to publicise good works as the public don’t know about some of the positive work that is being done
Action Points:
1. Conservation officer needed at the Council
2. Educate adults and children in conservation - through schools and publicity
3. Small grant fund for green spaces that community groups can bid into
