Seven Sands Open Space Improvements

Overview

South Ribble Borough Council have an ongoing improvement programme for parks and open spaces. The area known as Seven Sands Goal End and Open Space has been identified for potential improvements following contact from local residents. 

The goal end on this site is reported as being underutilised and attracting anti-social behaviour. South Ribble Borough Council is therefore seeking community feedback on a proposal to remove of the goal end and improve the area with planters containing native plant species for pollinators and seating installed on the existing hard surfaced area.

In addition, we could look to introduce wildlife friendly grass cutting areas, tree planting, sowing of wildflowers, installation of bee poles, the introduction of habitat piles and improved path access from Seven Sands.

The aim of the proposal is to enhance biodiversity, support local wildlife and create a natural environment for residents to enjoy. 

Why your views matter

We are inviting the public to provide feedback on the proposal by telling us. 

• Would you be affected by the removal of the goal end?
• Would you like to see the area improved for local wildlife while creating a natural environment for residents?
