Maintaining our Green Belt is integral to combating climate change. These areas serve as vital lungs for our district, absorbing CO2 and providing clean air. With increasing urbanisation, policies like DS1 must be enforced to preserve these essential landscapes. The Green Belt not only helps regulate our climate but also offers residents a space for recreation and connection with nature. The decision to protect it is not just beneficial for the environment but also for the quality of life for all community members. The future of our district depends on the actions we take today.
