Draft Black Country Plan

Representation Summary:
Policy ENV4 – I agree there must be much tree planting including in streets where wide verges and also odd corners can often be found.
Also there must be serious control on the paving over of front gardens which has a detrimental effect on wildlife, the street scene and flooding. . Removing ‘greenery’ from the street scene must be damaging for people’s health. Perhaps the Councils should start a best kept (for biodiversity) front garden competition to encourage planting in front gardens rather than paving!
I support moves to reduce climate change and pollution.
