Swindon Borough Council says it wants to hear what the public has to say about the borough's parks and open spaces.

A spokesperson said: "From Lydiard Park to Coate Water, the Town Gardens and Seven Fields, we want to know your views on the Borough’s local open spaces.
"Your thoughts and feedback will be used to inform policies to enhance open spaces within the Council's new Local Plan, through the Open Space audit report."
Everybody can have their say on local parks and gardens, sports facilities, spaces for nature, play spaces, allotments and community gardens by taking a few minutes to fill out a survey.
It includes a map providing an opportunity for people to identify specific open spaces they use, provide comments, answer questions and upload images.
After the survey has closed, the council will read all the comments and review the feedback provided.
All feedback will be collated and considered as part of the Open Space audit report, used to inform policy within the new Local Plan.
