In section two: Improving Hoylake’s open spaces, we asked what you thought of the following:
| 2a | Creating an area along the promenade for outdoor sports/activities for the young and not so young |
| 2b | Supporting a properly constructed skateboard park somewhere in Hoylake |
| 2c | Creating better quality play areas and more activities for all age groups |
| 2d | Allowing the beach to evolve naturally and encouraging more wildlife |
This is what you thought:
