The
Parks and Open Spaces Manager introduced the report and gave an
outline of the actions proposed to enhance biodiversity in the
Council’s parks and open spaces. This had been developed
following the adoption of the Biodiversity and Climate Change
Strategy in 2020, with which it would run in conjunction. The eight
sections of the action plan were outlined and the Nature Pledge was
read to the Committee.
In
response to questions, the Head of Environment and Public Realm
explained that community engagement work sat under the wider
strategy, and the team were working with the Biodiversity and
Climate Change Manager to develop a collective educational role
spanning multiple environmental issues.
The
Parks and Open Spaces Manager confirmed that issues with the
‘No Mow May’ scheme had been explored, and it was found
that they did not relate to the Council’s land.
RESOLVED:That the Parks and Open Spaces Delivery Plan for Biodiversity
2021-26, as attached at Appendix 1 to the report, be
adopted.
