Put the Environment on the Agenda at the Local Elections
The District Council elections coming up on Thursday 5th May are crucial for ensuring environmental change at a local level over the next few years.
​
Join our online hustings at 7.30pm on 25th April to question speakers from each of the major parties on issues concerning the environment and sustainability and to hear what they are promising should their party be elected.
Speakers will be given time to outline their party’s policies and answer questions from local people on matters such as climate action, parks and greenspaces, transport, the natural environment, planning, air quality, waste and more.
​
Book your place now and let's ensure that the environment is a priority for the District Council.
