To consider approval for a request for funding from the Green Initiatives Fund.

The Committee considered a request for funding from the Green Initiatives Fund to purchase and sow wildflower seeds through Greenfield Recreation Ground. Seeds would be purchased from a UK grower to support biodiversity and improve grassy areas of the recreation ground. The project would be monitored with the intention to improve other parks in future.

The Committee noted areas in the borough where similar projects had been completed and feedback received from residents. The Committee felt the project would improve the area and requested an update be given on its progress at a future meeting. This was agreed.

The Committee resolved to approve funding of £7,400 from the Green Initiatives Fund to purchase and sow wildflower seeds through Greenfield Recreation Ground.
