Council puts nature at the heart of future decisions
Amber Valley Borough Council says nature will play a greater role in how makes future decisions following its declaration of a nature emergency...
The council’s Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, informed by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust’s Plan for Nature, sets out ambitions for protecting and enhancing biodiversity across the borough.
Work is also continuing on the council’s Climate Change Action Plan and its delivery plans for 2026 to 2028, with existing actions and projects being reviewed and developed following the declaration...
Councillor Amina Burslem, Cabinet Member for Communities, Street Pride and Wellbeing, said: “Declaring a nature emergency is about much more than making a statement. It is a commitment to put nature at the heart of the decisions we make and make sure that commitment is reflected in what we actually do.
“Residents may also notice changes in how some council-owned open spaces are managed, including allowing grass to grow longer in certain areas and reducing mowing to create more space for wildlife.”

Reducing mowing so that the Chief Executive can have a bigger bonus.
FTFY.
Peter - that's probably it, plus some 'nature emergency' seminars at smart hotels no doubt.
Allow me to remind her that "nature" where she lives usually means "under a thousand feet of ice."
Perhaps Reform and the Conservatives should agree that after one or both win the next election they'll pass a retrospective Lock up Angela Rayner Act.
A surfeit of long grass, an abundance of potholes, it would appear that some councils cannot even do their basic jobs.
dearieme - and as Derby museum has a partial hippo skeleton dating from the previous interglacial, she could start a campaign to bring back hippos to the river Derwent.
A Lock up Angela Rayner Act could be a vote winner. I'd vote for it.
DJ - yes, that's what's behind it, an eco-formula for not doing the basics.
Looks like these people need a Reform council, before the residents start noticing a change in the number of wild fires
Anon - good point, that cemetery already looks too flammable.
