Constituents will know that I am keen to see our two great local councils, Harrow and Hillingdon, given the powers and support needed to provide excellent services for residents. These councils have a significant role to play in improving my constituents' access to nature and despite our proximity to the countryside, I know that many rely on the excellent green spaces in Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner.
I recently had the opportunity to press the Minister to ensure that local authorities are granted greater power to create and maintain good-quality green spaces, like Ruislip woods and Pinner Memorial Park. Given the Government’s access to nature target, the Minister was keen to highlight the significant funds already made available to local authorities across the country to achieve this.
