Representation ID: 16203

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Cllr Victoria Harvey

Representation Summary:

While I support most of the summary of 8.2.1 there needs to be an explanation of what extremes of weather we are increasingly likely to experience, ie levels of flooding and how much green infrastructure can reduce flooding and urban heat .We lack a document/ policy on CBC's targets for habitats and biodiversity. The UK is the one of the most Nature depleted countries and this needs to be explained. The challenge of obesity and mental health needs to be clearly explained and the in that context the benefits of Green infrastructure
