Dear Parishioners
We have had reports of fly-tipping within the parish. Oil cans, clothes, and a microwave for example. Please also note that old turf, garden waste and grass cutting constitute fly-tipping when dumped on any areas of the parish.

Our draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy sets out how nature across the area can be created, restored, enhanced, and connected for the benefit of wildlife, people, and the environment.

We've worked with local experts, communities, and organisations to shape it, and now it's over to you:

➡Have we captured your ideas and priorities? Is anything missing?
➡Does it focus on the right species and habitats?
➡Is it clear and easy to use for delivering nature recovery?
➡Do you have projects or opportunities we should include on the Local Habitat Map?

Please let us know your thoughts by completing our survey, linked in the comments.
