At the beginning of April all households will receive a survey through their letter box, from the Petersfield Society, about trees and green spaces in the town.

Andy Moffat from the Petersfield Society tells Mike Waddington about the Petersfield Green Space and People's Survey (funded through a grant from Waitrose) and why opinions are being asked for.

There will be development in the town too, so how should we plan for trees and green spaces and also check that developers deliver what the planning permission asked for.

Andy says they are looking for views both positive and negative as all help the thinking to keep the town a beautiful place to live.

Watch out for the survey in your April Directory delivery.
