Green infrastructure includes all those green and open spaces in the borough (parks, wildlife sites, greenways, canal/river corridors, etc.) that form part of the multi-functional network of green uses such as wildlife, recreation, flood protection and cycling/walking. To ensure a thorough assessment and appraisal of the borough's green infrastructure, a study was completed in 2009. It is available to download below. Maps are available to download separately.
