City Centre Greenway - What do you think?

Green spaces are vital to our City and we are lucky to have so many green spaces across Birmingham. One of the ways in which we can increase our green spaces is by creating greenways. 

What is a greenway?

Greenways are frequently created out of disused railways, canal towpaths, utility or similar rights of way, or derelict industrial land. Greenways also can also be linear parks, and can serve as wildlife corridors. The path's surface may be paved and often serves multiple users: walkers, runners, bicyclists, skaters and hikers.

Greenway

We want to hear what you think about the idea of a greenway in the City Centre and beyond and how we can make Birmingham even greener with more trees.
