In December 2020 we released concept designs for new open space that will be created as part of the Preston Level Crossing Removal Project.

These designs were developed using feedback and ideas collected from the community throughout 2020. In particular, they were developed in collaboration with the Preston Open Space Advisory Panel, with feedback from the wider community consultation fed directly to the panel.

Upon release of the concept designs, we sought feedback from the community via an online survey on:

• Which open space area would they spend most time in and why
• How often they anticipate they would use the open space
• Whether they thought the open space achieved the following: multi-use, caters to Preston’s diverse community, connects to the local area and safe and accessible (multiple choice)
• If they could change one aspect of the open space designs what would they change and why

A total of 237 people completed the online survey to give feedback on the new open space concept designs.

This report summarises the key themes raised in the feedback. This feedback will be used to further refine the open space designs.
