Green or growth is a ‘false choice’ The low-carbon economy could be a real engine of growth in the UK There is a risk that this potential will not be realised Improved conditions are needed to drive low-carbon markets and stimulate investment This should be underpinned by a strategic approach to maximise economic value The Colour of Growth

Marmot “open spaces, sports and recreational facilities have a vital role to play in promoting healthy living and preventing illness, and in the social development of children of all ages… Well planned and maintained open spaces and good quality sports and recreational facilities can play a major part in improving people’s sense of well being in the place they live. As a focal point for community activities, they can bring together members of deprived communities and provide opportunities for people for social interaction.”12
