76% of those who engaged were either happy or satisfied with the proposal.

The proposal achieved some comprehensive responses showing the level of connection that residents have with the area. Comments provided were passionate about the protection of the species within it and highlighted a desire that any improvements should retain the natural beauty of the area.

There were many suggestions provided to The Driffield Millennium Green Trust in how to make the area a better place to spend time in and dwell for longer.

The most important improvement proposal, to those who engaged, was footpath improvement for better accessibility.

Events which people would like to be involved in were wildlife orientated including expert tours. There were also a significant number who expressed a wish to be given volunteering opportunities and become more involved with the work of the Driffield Millennium Green Trust charity.

67% responded positively to the required compulsory Ash dieback felling plans

The engagement received many additional suggestions for use of the wood due to be felled and The Driffield Millennium Green Trust will now explore the viability of achieving these, within the area.

Thank you to those who contributed to the proposal.
