Motion detail
Bassam Mahfouz AM moved, and Elly Baker AM seconded the following motion:
“London is rich with green spaces, waterways, and a teeming array of wildlife, from foxes to beavers, but it is paramount that this natural tapestry is protected and enhanced as we both make our city more climate resilient and ensure access to nature is more widely available to all Londoners.
Colne Valley Regional Park gives a “substantial taste of countryside to the west of London”, founded in 1965 and covering 43 square miles of high quality green spaces, blue spaces, and biodiversity.
This Assembly recognises the importance of the Colne Valley Regional Park to London’s natural fabric and wholeheartedly supports its ambition to become a vibrant, unique, and precious green buffer, rich in wildlife, by 2050.
The London Assembly also aligns itself with the Regional Park’s six objectives and calls on the Mayor to submit the Greater London Authority as a Member Organisation of the CVRP, joining the likes of the National Trust, Natural England, and Thames Water and building on previous membership and support by the Greater London Council.”
Following debate and upon being put to a vote, the motion was agreed unanimously.
