Representation ID: 18501

Respondent: The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country

Representation Summary:

2.3
Comment: It is WTBBC’s view that the Vision for the Black Country ‘Creating a prosperous, stronger and sustainable Black Country’ could equally apply to the aspirations of any place at any given time. A more localised, unique and ambitious vision should be given which sets the Black Country apart and more directly responds to What is driving the Vision for the Black Country? (2.1).
Comment: WTBBC advocates for a vision that puts the natural world at the centre of decision making and a green transformation of the Black Country. The Black Country landscape should meet the needs of all those who live, work in or visit the area by delivering a prosperous and healthy environment that provides the livelihoods, homes and lifestyles they aspire to.
