Our open spaces include such areas as Itchen Valley Country Park, West End Copse to the south and Hatch Grange and Megan Green, plus many other smaller pieces of land around West End, such as Moorgreen Recreation Park and Barnsland. They form a vital part of our lives, whether it is somewhere to kick a ball about, walk the dog or cycle, away from polluting traffic, or simply somewhere to have a quite picnic and forget about the stresses of daily life, everyone appreciates breathing that fresh air
