Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031

Representation ID: 8516

Received: 19/05/2021

Respondent: Green Party

Representation Summary:

A jump from 19% to 58% adult obesity in 5 years does not seem realistic. One or both sets of statistics seem unreliable. Further my own research suggests the figure is 20.1% (for Hertfordshire as a whole, see URL below) and my empirical observation in North Herts would support that figure.
