You can still have your say to harness nature in city

T’S rare that you get an opportunity to make a physical difference in the place you grew up in - which is why I'm delighted to have played a small role in helping ensure that nature will be part of the next phase of the redevelopment of Nottingham’s Broad Marsh area.

I was part of the team at Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust & EMEC Ecology that helped shape our vision back in 2020 - a vision which helped secure the award winning ‘Green Heart’ and a Master Plan with a significant green thread running through it.

With the site’s new owners, Homes England, consulting on next steps, it’s vital that people who live, work, study in and visit Nottingham restate the importance of nature as a key element of the transformation. In doing so, we can help counter the Government's outdated and out-of-touch narrative that nature is a blocker of growth.
