Public meeting to discuss climate change and biodiversity activities in Kingscote Parish
Monday 7 March 2022 at 7.30pm in Kingscote Village Hall
A public meeting is arranged for Monday 7 March at Kingscote village hall to discuss what actions we might wish to take, either as individuals or as a community, to help reduce the adverse effects of climate change and biodiversity loss. Please come along if you can and share your ideas.
We all want to avoid unnecessary damage to the environment,but it is not always easy to know what we should do for the best. Sometimes we get conflicting advice, and reliable objective guidance can be difficult to find.
Some neighbouring towns have established Climate Action Networks to provide a focus for discussion, dissemination of useful advice and coordination of activities. Kingscote Parish might wish to do something similar, on a smaller scale, or alternatively link with a local group.
The meeting on 7 March will be to establish the level of interest in climate actions, to canvas opinions on what is desirable and to decide what we might do next. The objectives are:
1. To encourage individual and community activities aimed at sustainability
2. To provide a forum for sharing ideas and pooling knowledge
3. To make it easier for residents to get reliable, objective advice.
Agenda:
1. Introduction
2. Brief presentation by Sam Munton who is Chair of Wotton Area Climate Change Network. She will outline what this group does and answer questions.
3. General discussion of what topics are of interest to residents and how to move forward.
4. Attitudes to the current consultation on climate actions by Cotswold District Council
5. Conclusions
Time Limit: 1 hour 30 mins.
