## Notice

The Council has a new statutory (legal) duty to prepare a Derbyshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy (the LNRS) in accordance with the Government's regulations and guidance. To enable the effective co-ordination of such engagement the Council has established a new LNRS Steering Group on which a range of stakeholders are represented. The Council is seeking to appoint an independent Chair to the LNRS Steering Group who will have accountability for ensuring this group's effective functioning. This post is being funded using grant money allocated to Derbyshire County Council by Government specifically to develop the LNRS.
