Millennium Greens


When it began in 1996, the aim of the Millennium Greens initiative was to provide new areas of public open space close to people's homes that could be enjoyed permanently by the local community.

They were to be breathing spaces - places for relaxation, play and enjoyment of nature and pleasant surroundings. They could be small or large, and in urban or rural locations.

At the end of December 2001, 245 Millennium Greens had been created. They were all developed by the local people who had drawn up their plans, purchased the land, and carried out the work necessary to provide a local green space.
