Representation ID: 72081

Received: 28/07/2021

Respondent: Mr. Robert Taylor

Representation Summary:

Climate Change and environmantal degradation are the 2 most important issues facing our societies. Our children and grandchildren urgently need the current generatios to act now to slow down and reverse the damage done over recent decades.
The commitments are commendable but there is little about reducing vehicle emissions and few links to the environmental destruction of flora and fauna.
I have followed WDC's appalling planning decisions over the last few years. Willful destruction of the greenbelt, weak enforcement of planning conditions and bending over backwards to enable HS2 etc. Both the Planning function and the Committee need to improve.
