There are many organisations Covering Our Green and Open Spaces nationally and locally. This makes dealing with issues labyrinthine at times and can makes things a bit bewildering. We are starting to put together a listing for our Members that details all of the organisation involved that are within our area. We have not included a national listing as it would become too onerous and large – however we could change that approach if the majority of our Members felt that we should do so. If you represent one of the organisations involved and don’t see your organisation on this page – or if you know of an organisation doing work on the issues we deal with – then please let us know (please click on this link to go straight to our contact us page to send a message).
