Next speaker is Philip Bowsher @TheParksTrust, a stewardship org that has 30 years' experience...
Manages about 25% of land across #MiltonKeynes; an independent charity that generates its own income, manages #parks and #landscapes but doesn't need to charge residents...
'Key question we face is how @TheParksTrust can continue its role as #MiltonKeynes grows...'
Until a decade ago it was assumed that new green space in MK would be managed by @TheParksTrust, but now developers don't necessarily assume this...
'We started looking at local planning policies. The previous open space policy was weak. Was strong on what developers had to provide, but said nothing about long-term management...'
'Could the new MK local plan state that new green spaces must be managed by @TheParksTrust?' This wasn't possible, but did secure strong reference to the Trust in planning policy.
