What is a green network?
A green network is a planned network of formal and informal green spaces which are multifunctional in their use.
It will provide opportunities for:
- People - traffic free routes for non-motorised transport and passive recreation
- Wildlife - creating and managing more habitats for wildlife including green corridors to connect habitats.
- Outdoor recreation - creating opportunities to get active in a natural environment such as walking, canoeing, orienteering etc
- Natural flood storage - working to reinstate natural drainage capacity of river systems and water storage.
