Nature loves Grantham's Queen Elizabeth Park and now South Kesteven District Council wants to hear what the public think.

The annual consultation is under way, seeking views on why people visit, what would make the park even better and what they think of the improvements undertaken as part of the Blue Green Corridor initiative.

Cllr Paul Stokes, SKDC Cabinet member for Culture and Leisure, said: "Queen Elizabeth Park is very much our country park in Grantham, providing opportunities for walking and cycling, as well as valuable wildlife habitat in the middle of town.

"The park has benefited from many projects undertaken by the Blue Green Corridor initiative, including new wetland areas and, in the autumn, the planting of a wildflower meadow. Once established, both will provide habitats for aquatic species, birds and invertebrates.

"Berms have been installed in the parks section of the River Witham, helping variation in river flow, replicating natural processes and supporting aquatic life and the environment.

"I would encourage people to use this annual opportunity to tell us what they think of Queen Elizabeth Park, one of three parks to hold the prestigious Green Flag award in Grantham.

"Feedback will help us measure public views and will be used to inform any future improvements."

Printed copies of the survey will also be available from the Visitor Centre in Wyndham Park.

The consultation closes on 31 October.
