Management of open spaces by local authorities (often in partnership with each other and specialist organisations such as Suffolk Wildlife Trust) is the most likely to maintain the wildlife benefit and provides local accountability and a fair distribution of the costs. Management companies and contractors are less likely to sensitively manage wildlife habitats and are not accountable.
