Sheffield City Council declared a climate emergency in February 2019. But continues to ignore government legislation and directive. In February 2020, the secretary of State for the Environment explained that the government’s approach to UK flood prevention would consist of an extra £4bn spending on flood defences but also in Yorkshire the creation and support of upstream nature-based solutions. In addition, as reported in a government press release on 23 January 2020, the Environment Agency, the Forestry Commission and Natural England have jointly committed to “nature-based solutions to tackle the climate emergency.”
In Owlthorpe Sheffield (LPA) have completely ignored government legislation and directive and sold off Plot E destroying thousands of Trees. Sheffield (LPA) are now proposing to destroy the Grassland & Grazing project (Plot F) a major part of Owlthorpe Heritage & Nature Trail. Sheffield City Council have been receiving funds from Natural England for many years, but are determined to put profit before the health, wellbeing and wishes of residents of Owlthorpe.
