Council are busy putting the final touches to the response to DEFRA. This is one of the most important consultations for many years, and we have to get it right.

Please take the time to read it and let any Council member have you comments by Monday 20 June at the latest.

You can make an individual response to DEFRA if you wish. A simple e mail note saying that you support the concept, but need to see the new body funded properly will do. It will make a difference. Send it to : NWCresponses@defra.gsi.gov.uk
