Open Spaces Development Officer Alex Benoy Tel: 01933 231736
The Open Spaces Development Officer encourages the use of Wellingborough's parks and open spaces. The role involves encouraging local communities to improve their local green space - giving help and advice, making suggestions and ideas for developments, providing signs and information boards in the park or improving planting.
Other projects run by the officer include the Hearty Walkers Groups - weekly walks of varying lengths set up to improve the health and well-being of participants; the Glamis Grove Volunteers - a monthly group which helps to look after Wellingborough's Local Nature Reserve - and the Friends of Swanspool Gardens. New members to all these groups are always welcome!
