Share your views on improving Longwood for visitors and the community
We’re inviting our local community to take part in the Longwood community consultation survey and help shape the future of this much-loved woodland space. Longwood is a place for walking, learning, events, and enjoying nature, and we’re now exploring plans to improve facilities so that more people can benefit from what it has to offer. These plans include renovating the existing visitor centre and toilet facilities, and creating a new Engagement Hub – a flexible indoor space for community activities, learning, and group visits.
To help make this happen, we plan to apply for funding from the National Lottery Community Fund. A key part of this process is hearing directly from the people who use – or would like to use – Longwood.
