Rushcliffe Country Park users are being asked to give their views in a bitesize survey, designed to help shape the park’s features and gauge further how they travel to and when they use the site. The short survey, which can be completed online until September 30 https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/RushcliffeCP2021, will help identify more how visitors use the park.
It will also assist Rushcliffe Borough Council’s continued application for annual Green Flag accreditation for the site that regularly requests views and feedback from park users. Surveys are also available to pick up and complete in person at the park’s office, during opening hours from 8am to 4pm each day. Responses could also help develop subsequent new visitor attractions, features and car parking to inform a wider consultation next year.
Whether visitors use the park more than once a week or just once a year, all views are being sought to help shape wider assessments and ongoing improvements in future years. Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Deputy Chief Executive and Director for Neighbourhoods Dave Banks said: “If you use the Country Park please inform us of more details in this short survey that takes no longer than five minutes to complete. “We’re always looking at ways we can improve this much-loved park and receiving customer feedback plays a vital role in helping new and existing generations enjoy it even more.
“It will help inform a wider consultation next year that may suggest possible new features and ways to improve car parking, for example. “Information on when and how you travel to the site and what you do when you arrive here will be greatly received. Thank you in advance if you take the time to help us shape our ideas going forward for an even better park.” The news follows decommissioning of the Park’s wind turbines last month so alternative renewable energy technology can be used for the site’s power. The park’s education centre and separate toilet block and tool store will also soon undergo a wider refurbishment to make use of its green spaces including installation of solar panels to generate over 80% of the energy requirements of the site. This is due to start later this year and will include enhanced toilet facilities and a takeaway café.
