Successful hustings on 23rd April – now the elections are over, hold the Council members to account and take action ourselves as citizens!

The questions we posed before the meeting are here

The main thing is to get the Council to act as if there’s a climate emergency, regardless of whether it declares one. Councillors agree that we need a Local Plan with TEETH – “must” and “shall”-type words; and an environmental impact assessment with every plan. They agreed to look at preventing “resistance heating” i.e. inefficient electric convectors or “electric fires” being built into new homes. See the other suggestions in our report.
