Natural and built environment

One of our Council ambitions and priority themes is to create a greener, more resilient future.

We work with partners and communities to encourage and enable the development of joined-up resilient communities. We enable local action to deliver:

Clean air for all
Physically active travel
Water safety
Increased access to green spaces
Help in spatial planning and other outcomes. For example, identifying and preventing exposure to hazards like flooding.
Road safety
