Environment

We will enforce the protection of our green spaces and chalk streams.

We will protect our rivers and streams by robustly implementing regulations on industrial waste discharge, managing stormwater runoff and responsible agricultural practices, and by collaborating with local communities to implement sustainable practices.

We will protect flood-prone communities by implementing drainage systems and by working with developers to incorporate flood mitigation measures in new builds.

We will advocate for council-backed home insulation schemes to cut energy bills and ensure new housing is highly insulated with minimum carbon construction costs.

We will vigorously oppose unsustainable development in the Green Belt and Chilterns National Landscape.

We will promote appropriately sited local renewable energy projects that generate income for our communities through Community Municipal Investments.
