Minutes:
Following the declaration of a Climate Emergency at a recent Council meeting the Cabinet appointed Councillor N Bedford as the primary member to take responsibility along with Councillor J Philip taking into account his work on the Local Plan and working with Natural England.
Councillor Bedford commented that this would be the best way forward by tackling this from two directions. They were hopeful that they could organise a small conference about the ‘Green Arc’ and how they could incorporate that work to fit in with the climate emergency strategy. They were hoping to get the Youth Council involved in this conference as well.
