Received a report proposing to designate Eastbrookend Country Park as the Borough’s second Local Nature Reserve, in line with the Borough’s Local Public Service Agreement with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.  This follows the designation of The Chase as a Local Nature Reserve in 2001.

Agreed, in order to assist the Council in achieving its Community Priorities of ‘Making Barking and Dagenham Cleaner, Greener and Safer’ and ‘Raising General Pride in the Borough’, to:

1. Approve the declaration of Eastbrookend Country Park, as marked on the plan attached to the report, as a Local Nature Reserve; and

2. Authorise officers to issue the necessary Notices and enter into the necessary legal arrangements to enable the Declaration to take place.
