DIY Green Spaces?

It seems a very good idea to improve the chances of local communities in England being able to purchase derelict land for conversion into green spaces. Lots can be done with the help of volunteer groups. It's suggested that the time to raise the potential purchase price of the plots, could be doubled (the current 6 months has often proved inadequate). It might also be an idea to offer enhanced inducements to schemes that will increase biodiversity/include rewilding components (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/06/communities-will-be-given-right-to-turn-eyesores-into-parks-says-labour). Perhaps, the National Lottery should be involved in such exercises. This type of scheme enhances local environments. It's also been shown that exposure to nature, improves mental health of users. The very act of their creation, can also enhance the local sense of community.
