Your request was actioned under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 in which you requested the following information – In numerous Council meetings/media reports etc, Mayor Anderson has stated that he has created '67 acres of new green space'......he made it very clear that this was NOT refurbished green space or 'Meanwhile' green space....but permanent new green space [1] Please clearly indicate the location of each of these new green spaces [2] Please indicate when each one was created and the acreage of each one Response: Liverpool City Council would advise that a detailed report on this matter was submitted to the then Neighbourhood Services Select Committee at its meeting of 24 February 2015. A copy of the report and accompanying appendices is attached with this letter. We would advise that this report was and remains fully in the public domain and in accordance with the application of Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA), that this can be reasonably accessed via the following weblink – http://councillors.liverpool.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=1432&MId=14489 The sites included in the report were incredibly diverse and as such were the result of a mix of different circumstances; there are some sites which were highlighted as development space in previous regeneration activity and were still deemed to be potential development sites. In this circumstance the improvement was described as a meanwhile use and a temporary improvement until such time the site was developed. However there were also sites which were deemed long term/ permanent improvements and on land not designated for potential development at the time.
