Agenda item

To receive the report of the Biodiversity & Green Spaces Officer.

Members received the report from the Biodiversity & Green Spaces Officer along with information provided verbally via Public Participation.

Members asked questions of the members of the public in order to fully understand the proposal and what it would offer to Witney residents, where sessions would be held and the benefits it would offer to attendees.

Members asked if these sessions could be advertised/offered to organisations such as Homestart in order to support those most in need.
