Excellent point about the need to encourage people to walk and cycle in their local area, so facilities in order to be able to do this effectively are really important as part of neighborhood growth area plans.

We are pleased to note the inclusion of paragraph 10.115 regarding greenways which provide for public leisure access and for linkages in the Nature Recovery Network. The proposals for restoration of the Hatherton Canal connecting from within the Walsall Council area are an example of this.

Comment: WTBBC support the recognition of the value of greenways in the BCP and the acknowledgment of the need to invest in and improve the network. WTBBC are of the view that there is clear link between the network of greenways and the Local Nature Recovery Network, and that the opportunity to invest will benefit the aspirations of both. WTBBC therefore request that this link is referenced in this paragraph. Furthermore, the opportunity to further increase both the extent and quality of greenways along the Black Country’s network of rivers and streams should be made more strongly.
