Councillor Bernard Little wanted Sheffield to be a place where they lived as part of nature, not apart from it. Across the country, over the last 50 years, 30 million birds had disappeared, nearly 70% of the insect population had been lost. Sheffield City Council declared a nature emergency in June 2021, with a plan to reverse the onslaught. Therefore, why were glyphosate been sprayed in parks and open spaces. Why were parks and open spaces been cut down or sprayed just as insects were about to pollinate. Why doesn’t Housing, Parks, Highways and School departments in Sheffield City Council not cooperative on how they manage the land. Councillor Bernard Little finished by asking members of the public in attendance to contribute to the plan and help reverse the damage to parks and open spaces in the city. |
