The Group had before it, and NOTED, the *Environment PDG Work Plan for 2022-2023.
The Policy and Research Officer provided an overview of area’s in which the Group had previously requested items be added to the work plan and requested a steer on which projects to take forward.
The Group agreed that the following be further investigated:
· Cycling and Walking Routes – Members requested that officers produce a cost benefit analysis to explore if routes were financially viable with the intention that a working group be set up to explore further possible options. It was noted that the Economy PDG were also looking at possibilities with the Forward Planning team so it may require a joint approach from both PDG’s.
Members requested that the following be considered for a future item:
· Water quality in the districts rivers – was effluent being routinely discharged into our water courses and was the river quality as good as it could be. The Environment Agency and South West Water would be invited to attend a future meeting of the PDG to discuss the issue.
