Comment: WTBBC support the recognition in the BCP that the protection and improvement of the Black Country’s biodiversity and geodiversity will safeguard and improve the environmental attractiveness and value of the area for residents and visitors while at the same time improving the physical and natural sustainability of communities within the conurbation in the face of climate change. This paragraph should, however, make more detailed and explicit reference to the broad range of valuable ecosystem services that the natural environment provides the communities of the Black Country.
