Open Spaces
Wheathampstead Parish Council owns on behalf of residents over 150 acres of open space and playing fields. We have developed a policy on our approach to maintaining these sites taking into account:
- The needs of wildlife and promoting biodiversity
- Public access
- Visual appeal
Details of the overall policy can be found here in the policies handbook and the management plans for many of the sites can be found on the relevant page on this website.
In order to maintain the sites for the benefit of all, we organise a group of volunteers known as the Wheathampstead Open Spaces Volunteers (WOSV). Information on the group can be found here.
