Urban Farm DB summary

In 2021 Liverpool City Council pledged to protect all 100 of the city's parks and green spaces — over 1,000 hectares of land — in partnership with charity Fields in Trust. By March 2024, only one, the park at Faulkner Square in the Georgian Quarter, had been formally placed in trust. The council said work was under way on 20 of the biggest and most strategically important sites, while local Friends groups expressed concern about the slow pace and development pressure.
