What support do parks staff want from Government?Report sets out the business case for reversing years of Government underfunding

摘要

The Parks Alliance has published Making Parks Count: The Case for Parks, setting out the business case for parks, why they matter and why they are a "smart investment". The report illustrates how parks in England deliver more than ￡6.6bn of health, climate change and environmental benefits each year, including ￡2.2bn in avoided health costs alone and worth ￡140 per year for each urban resident. For every ￡1 spent on parks in England, an estimated ￡7 is generated in additional value for health, well-being and the environment, it notes.
