HomeWelcome To Wirral
Our Local Agenda 21 policy
As part of the strategy development, we have already made it part of official Council policy to:
- Promote healthy and productive lifestyles in harmony with the environment.
- Conserve Wirral's heritage, actively encouraging schemes which improve Wirral's quality of life.
- Make better use of local and global resources, by using methods of production, consumption and development which don't damage the earth.
- Develop skills which have very little impact on the environment, and minimise waste.
- Set targets and regularly review our progress towards sustainability.
- Accept individual and collective responsibility for the global environment.
- Promote local assets.
- Maintain bio-diversity, which means nurturing the flora and fauna that lives in Wirral.
- Encourage partnerships between the Council and the community, sharing knowledge and skills.
- Encourage personal and community ownership of local schemes.
- Embrace community initiatives on Local Agenda 21 themes.
- Involve young people in decisions being made about their environment.
- Raise awareness of LA21 issues through involvement with businesses, residents, community and special interest groups.
- Promote LA21 to as wide an audience as possible.
- Share information with the community.
- Agree what can be done to move towards a better long-term future.
These are our priorities - what would be your priorities for action given our limited resources? Do you feel we've missed anything? Remember - we need your views.
