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 />
