QUESTION 6<br />
Do you support <strong>the</strong> installation of two circular tree seats around <strong>the</strong> existing<br />
mature trees?<br />
87% SUPPORT (YES)<br />
11% AGAINST (NO)<br />
GENERAL ISSUES<br />
A large majority supported this proposal.<br />
Several respondents expressed an interest<br />
to see more seating along <strong>the</strong> wall of <strong>the</strong><br />
Green.<br />
Concern was expressed that new public<br />
seating would be used by street drinkers.<br />
Respondents wanted more planting.<br />
RESPONSE<br />
Additional seating is now proposed along <strong>the</strong><br />
wall.<br />
Research suggests that ‘street drinkers’<br />
ga<strong>the</strong>r in places that are not used by o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
This space is busy, due to <strong>the</strong> bus stops,<br />
<strong>the</strong> mosque and <strong>the</strong> pub, and will get busier<br />
when <strong>the</strong> scheme is delivered. This should<br />
detract any ‘street drinkers’ from using <strong>the</strong><br />
space.<br />
New trees will be planted as part of <strong>the</strong><br />
scheme.<br />
SELECTED COMMENTS<br />
Great idea, would give <strong>the</strong> green area more of a village feel.<br />
Police need to prevent use of this area (and <strong>the</strong> green) by street drinkers.<br />
Fur<strong>the</strong>r trees should be added for local wildlife<br />
So long as anti-social drinking and khat chewing is controlled<br />
