This strategy is to be produced by taking the views from all those that benefit from or impact on nature. That is every business, every organisation and every resident. Through a detailed habitat mapping initiative across Warwickshire, we have identified existing valuable ecological areas and locations with potential for biodiversity enhancement. This aligns with the vision of Lawton's "Making Space for Nature" report, which calls for the creation of 'more, bigger, better and connected' wild spaces. To explore this initiative further, a dedicated map is available by clicking on this link (map will open in a new window). This map not only shows existing designated areas like Local Wildlife Sites but also identifies potential areas for enhancing connectivity between these crucial habitats. When we asked people about our Sustainable Future Strategy, biodiversity was the top concern, with 90% of respondents indicating that "Improving the richness and diversity of Warwickshire's habitats, wildlife and landscapes" is very important or important to them. This survey is your chance to share your thoughts and ideas more specifically as we develop a Local Nature Recovery Strategy. Please share your views on how we can best protect and improve Warwickshire's natural environment.

In response to concerns raised by residents about crime and anti-social behaviour, the Parish Council met with PC Mark Finch from our Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team and as a result PC Finch has invited all Burton Green residents to an informal drop in event called ‘Cuppa with a Copper’ .
The first Burton Green ‘Cuppa with a Copper’ will be held on Tuesday 9th July between 12.00 – 3.00pm in the Tacon Room at the Village Hall, Red Lane, Burton Green. This is an opportunity for residents to meet with PC Finch and his team in an informal setting and for you to raise any concerns you may have, seek crime prevention advice or simply drop in for a cuppa and to meet the officers; PC Finch is committed to working with us to address local concerns. ‘Cuppa with a Copper’ is open to everyone with no set agenda and PC Finch looks forward to meeting anyone that would like to drop in to this informal meeting. This is a regular event and will be continuing every six to eight weeks with future dates to be confirmed. If you are unable to attend the session and have concerns or questions for the local policing team, please visit https://www.warwickshire.police.uk/area/your-area/ for their contact details. |
