QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

To ask the Chief Executive to outline where wildflower meadows are currently located across the county, how many hectares they cover, what increase there is on previous years and what plans there are to increase coverage.

REPLY:

The wildflower areas within the County are currently being mapped and are set out in the table below.  The mapping exercise is not quite complete as yet and some details are missing from the last entries on the table.  The total area being maintained at present is 136.5 hectares, and this represents an increase of 46 hectares over the past 2 to 3 years.  Arrangements are being made for ecological surveys to be carried out on existing wildflower meadows and the results of these suveys will be used to inform further development of meadowland areas in the future.
