Local greenspace

| 0 comments

The findings of the sustainable places and greenspace module of the Scottish Social Attitudes Survey have been published (summary;      full report). Two-thirds (66%) of people in Scotland live within a five minute walk of their local greenspace. However, only 53% of people in the most deprived areas do so. Being very satisfied with the quality of your local greenspace is associated with better self-assessed health, higher life satisfaction, greater social trust and a higher sense of community cohesion.
