Minutes:
(Councillor Cecilia Motley withdrew from the meeting for this item)
The Portfolio Holder for Culture and Digital introduced the report proposing that Shropshire Council delegate the ability to designate the land as a Local Nature Reserve to Much Wenlock Town Council. The designation would provide both environmental and recreational benefits and was strongly supported by the local member who spoke in favour of the recommendation and other members who said there was a wide radius of people who enjoyed visiting the site.
RESOLVED:
That the Council delegates power to Much Wenlock Town Council to enable the designation of Windmill Hill as a Local Nature Reserve.
