Representation ID: 5149

Received: 04/03/2015

Respondent: Ipswich Wildlife Group

Representation Summary:

Ipswich Wildlife Group agrees that the protection and enhancement of the natural environment in Ipswich is an important aspect of the overall life of the town. We think that the idea of the Ecological Network is an excellent one, and the plans set out for establishing it are very promising - we are already working with Greenways to promote the network in local communities. We are pleased to see that IBC will seek to conserve and enhance County Wildlife Sites and Local Wildlife Sites, in addition to the sites that have statutory protection (e.g. SSSIs, SPAs).
