Greenspace Strategy
Minutes:
It was reported that the strategy was currently in draft form and would now be the subject of a consultation exercise. The Strategy would work towards protecting and making the best use of the greenspaces in the Borough. Key themes were quantity, quality and use.
Consultation would include internal and external partners and all bodies who were involved in the management or protection of green spaces.
It was noted that the strategy related to many wider agendas, for example, health.
It was noted that the Borough had one of the best locations for mountain biking in the Country and that this should be acknowledged in strategies and plans.
Members noted that on the former Met Office site, a rare blue grass had been found. Officers stated that they would look into this.
