We would like to give members of Oxfordshire Gardens Trust the opportunity to consider the report issued by The Gardens Trust regarding the changes to their consultation status.
3rd October, 2025
Dear County Gardens Trusts,
Yesterday we launched our new report on ‘Harnessing Parks and Gardens in the 21st Century: How historic landscapes can support and enhance our today and tomorrow’ which you can read on our website here: https://thegardenstrust.org/resources/parks-gardens-21st-century/
Today the report, along with the governments proposed changes to our statutory consultee status, have received coverage in a range of national and local newspapers and we would like to ask your urgent help in sharing these through your CGT comms and social media channels and to amplify these messages in any way you can. Attached is a list of coverage we have identified so far, but you might spot others in your local press today and over the weekend. We have also been featured on radio stations, which you might also like to listen out for. If you would like copies of any press coverage posted to you please let @Linden Groves know, along with the amount of copies you require.
As ever, thank you for your ongoing support and we hope this coverage will generate lots of support and positive outcomes for us all.
Thanks very much and best wishes,
Frankie
Engagement Officer, The Gardens Trust
