Respondent: Hawbush Community Gardens

Happy to see the emphasis given to the retention of open, green spaces - I'm including in this the great parks and recreation facilities across Dudley Borough and facilities like our own Hawbush Community Gardens (Bull Street, DY5 3NQ) - their importance has been underlined by the pandemic. Not only important for health and wellbeing, but for the environmental benefits of valuable habitats for reduction of urban flooding risk, air quality and for pollinating insects and all sorts of wildlife. Also urban food production will be increasingly important in the future, to build resilience into UK food supplies.
