When thinking about where and how you live, what does 'Good Living' mean to you?

“Living within a community with gardens offering opportunity for food growing and access to green space. Good transport connections into the city.” “Good Living to me means clean, safe streets, with places for children and teenagers to go so that they aren't left to find their own, potentially dangerous, amusement. I'd like to see recycling bins outside every house on every street as currently my own street does not have this. Community compost bins would be a good idea as well as this would decrease the amount of food waste and if located by park areas could even then be used to grow food. I'd also like to see less green areas being destroyed and be able to see that the Council is doing its part in ensuring that Nottingham's wildlife is safe and protected".
