Working with Southampton Common Forum, which surveyed residents last year, the city council has published the Southampton Common Plan 2019-30 on its website (Two-page PDF, 309 kb).
“The Common will be an inspirational example of an attractive, green urban space dedicated to the benefit of Southampton’s people of all ages, backgrounds and interests,” the vision statement says.
It adds that the Common will be: “A place where residents and visitors come together for recreation and education; enjoy its natural beauty, sustain and appreciate its plants, wildlife and cultural heritage.
“Communities, public and private organisations will be united in their care of it for present and future generations.”
The plan goes on to list various outcomes, facts and figures about Common usage and lists proposed actions.
You can give your views on the plan by Friday, July 27 via this Southampton City Council page.
