Agenda item

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

The Committee received and considered the report of the Biodiversity & Green Spaces Officer which provided an update on the recent surveys carried out in the Country park and the aims for its future development.

Members were also supportive of the plans to carry out the work to plant wildflowers on the Curbridge Roundabout, though this would involve the use of heavy machinery and additional working hours they were pleased to hear that no road closure or restrictions would be required.

Additionally, the Committee were pleased to hear of the continued collaboration with the Witney Shed to provide habitat boxes.

Recommended:

1.      That, the report and verbal update be noted and,

2.      That, a wildflower area be established at the Curbridge Roundabout.
