The people of Whitby are wanting to preserve the green space in the town.
That's one of the early findings from Whitby Community Network's survey which was given to the public in May.
It allowed people to provide their own feedback about areas of the town that could be improved.
Andy Jefferson, who's a trustee at the network, says that early findings show that the people of Whitby are wanting to preserve green space.
The Community Network say that
In terms of the level of participation of residents with this consultation, there were 601 places marked on the map. This signifies that up to 4.6% of residents participated in the consultation (601/13200) during the month that it was open. We can contrast this with recent North Yorkshire Council Let’s Talk consultations where the order of 0.2-0.5% of the population has participated with those consultations running for the order of 2 months.
Regarding the split between online and manual-input forms. There were 555 online entries, and 46 manual entries. The manual entries comprised Coliseum (18), St Johns Ambulance Hall (14), Kirkham Close (6), Whitby Spa Pavilion (4), Eastside Centre (3), Green Lane Centre (1), and Flowergate Hall (0).
They are showcasing the data at a meeting today.
Andy Jefferson, says that they are hoping to take the data and reproduce the findings at a district level.
