London - Campaign to Protect Rural England

More green spaces in our cities

Tuesday, 14 October 2014 11:55

A cross-party group looking at wellbeing has called for more green spaces in our cities, as "planning processes have lost sight of their original mission to improve community wellbeing".

In its first ever report published today the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Wellbeing Economics considers "restoring this would transform local areas, with considerable economic benefits – city liveability is a major consideration for big employers, while encouraging residents to take up walking or cycling could save the NHS £675m a year".
