Pocket Parks and Parklets - These are small areas which members of the public can
identify for protection as green spaces. The “Yellow Brick Road” has been logged

Reddish Park. Comments in support of these parks are requested by the website and
your support would be appreciated. Click here to see the BEE Network and Parklet
Consultation Map User Guide, from where you can access the map and give your support.
