Environment charity reveals “green space gap” as North/South divide identified

New analysis by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy has revealed that 70% of people who live in urban areas in towns and cities across England do not have suitable access to good quality green space. This rises to 75.8% in the most deprived areas.

The findings are based on those who live within 800m (or a ten-minute walk) of a Green Flag Award accredited green space – the Government’s own standard for what constitutes a good-quality park.
