Given the urgency of action on climate, I do not think this is emphasised enough

The statements about the environment are very vague. I'd like to see pledges that there will be programmes to retrofit cold and badly insulated homes, that future building is to to high eco standards, that local renewable energy will be encouraged, that major steps will be taken to cut emissions from transport. Cutting our emissions should be the responsbiity of everyone in the Borough and so engaging residents with an awareness programme and getting larger stakeholders on board should be a priority. We need everyone to recognise the importance of green spaces for biodiversity and as carbon sinks and so to protect these areas. We also need to accept the reality of climate change and help people adapt, especially with flood protection.

Immediate help to support biodiversity, would be for improved methods for hedge and verge maintainance. Don't cut everything green to stubble, twigs and dust, esp during the hot weather. Pollinators need a variety of wild flowers, weeds. Birds need nuts, berries and seeds and habitat, don't steal it from them. Plant hedges and trees and maintain them properly
