West Midlands National Park

Dear Mick and friends

Thanks for the email and your leadership, over many decades in, so far, preventing newly built developments in the 32 sq Kms Golden Green Triangle and Lutley Green Wedge.

It is essential that we do all we can to ensure that the authorities act to promote exactly what Kathryn Moore wants for our triangle plus Lutley GW, as here from the press release:
"We are talking about a new kind of urban national park, one that brings the experience of national parks to urban populations rather than expecting people to travel to remote places.  (SELF: I have cut back on travel because of climate, finite fossil fuels and Covid and I'm exploring, by car and bike, Shropshire and Worcestershire footpaths, instead of Wales and Scotland hills.) It’s about rekindling the relationship we have with the landscape, our sense of belonging and identity our sense of pride and desire to create a better future for our children and grandchildren. (SELF: Yes.  They come first and we each have a duty to them to act responsibly by sharing finite resources - even water).  This is precisely what we need to have at the top of our political agenda in order to deal with climate change, to give plentiful access to quality green space and nature, provide cleaner air, water, soil and fresh food and create thriving self-sufficient communities post Covid-19."  (SELF: Our natural triangle and wedge must be growing our food and for re-creation, ONLY.  No more concrete, brick and tarmac)
Kathryn​, please reply to Mick.

Many thanks and best wishes

Tim
