What things will we need to tackle?<br />

4.12 We will need to improve <strong>Coventry</strong>'s streets and<br />

public spaces so that they are cleaner, safer and<br />

greener. We need to continue to improve our street<br />

cleaning services and to tackle environmental crime<br />

and fly-tipping and aim to join up better design,<br />

management and maintenance of streets and open<br />

spaces.<br />

4.14 Green spaces need to be of high quality and<br />

accessible to local people and our approach to<br />

green spaces should include spaces such as<br />

allotments and gardens. People also need to feel<br />

safe when they are using open spaces and we need<br />

to promote safety in our public parks and other open<br />

spaces.<br />

4.13 We need to recognise that our green<br />

infrastructure is a valuable asset that makes a<br />

significant impact upon regeneration, health and<br />

transport. In future we will need to plan to develop<br />

and use our green infrastructure as an integrated<br />

network for sustainable travel, regeneration,<br />

strengthening communities, reducing the impact of<br />

climate change and supporting diversity and to<br />

improve health and air quality.<br />
