OUR VISION

"Together, we will make our open spaces safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable for the people of St Helens"

Over half of St Helens Borough is open spaces. The council wants to make sure these spaces and places are safe, accessible and fun for everyone to enjoy. By making these spaces better, people can live healthier and happier lives. These places can be used for sports, games, events and spending time outside.

Open Spaces Strategy (PDF, 12 MB)

Our 10-year strategy includes: 

• What the council wants to do with parks and open areas. It will explain our goals and the most important things we want to focus on. 
• How this fits into other plans for St Helens. 
• What there currently is in St Helens. 
• How council land (spaces the council owns) will be improved by this strategy and who will be keeping an eye on the progress.
• How the council will work with the owners of private land (land not owned by the council) to make sure these areas are doing the right things too.
