We are asking
Throughout 2025, we’ll be gathering insights from local people and groups to understand how the park is experienced.Council officers and colleagues from Arkwood will be on hand to discuss Holly Hill Rediscovered and ask for residents' input to help shape restoration plans and future activities, ensuring the park remains a place to enjoy, connect with nature, and celebrate its rich ecologies and histories.
You can find us at the below events:
A survey is also available online and in paper format for those who cannot make the events and would like to have their say.
