Why this ambition is important for Bath and North East Somerset
We have already set out how important it is to
maintain and improve our natural and built features and heritage in
Bath
and North East Somerset. We have also set out our commitment to
looking after the environment over the long term. This ambition
emphasises practical improvements to local environments and neighbourhoods,
including issues such as litter and graffiti, managing waste and making
neighbourhoods better places to live.
In general,
Bath
and North East Somerset enjoys a high-quality environment. Bath & North
East Somerset Council is a national
leader in the field of waste recycling. Over the long term they aim to
meet a vision of producing "zero waste". Despite these
efforts, improving our local environment produced the most comments when we
consulted residents. The comments covered a wide
range of concerns, including emptying rainwater gullies, drainage, the
condition of pavements and footpaths, and protecting green spaces. It is
clear that partners must come together to offer a ‘joined up’ approach
to improving local neighbourhoods and meeting these local concerns.
