Medway Council has declared a climate emergency. Excellent! But what're they actually going to do? We'll advocate & challenge. We're non-partisan.

Air pollution from diesel vehicles is damaging children's lungs and killing people. We need to think about that everytime we're tempted to get in our cars to drive a walkable distance.

#NoMowMay - a perfect example of how to address the #ecologicalemergency with simple, cost effective measures. The green outside my house is usually mown short. It's now a haven for wildlife and is a joy to look at. Amazing work @M_ClimateChange @medway_council @Love_plants

A critical doc on#ClimateChange. It follows members of the UK’s 1st Citizens Assembly on climate change in 2020, the impact on those people and how they took recommendations to Govt. What next? Who knows - but if you watch and share, more will happen ow.ly/no5L50ELbxS

Medway Climate Change Advisory Group: great to hear Cllr Doe discuss the importance of stakeholder engagement in addressing climate change. Councils cannot address the #ClimateEmergency alone. Great meeting @M_ClimateChange @medway_council ✅✅✅
Medway Council Climate Change Advisory Group: Discussion regarding #housing #energyefficiency. Yes it's difficult but UK govt has invested £billions in the LADS scheme. @medway_council has a huge opportunity to facilitate energy efficiency right now

Medway Climate Change Advisory Group: Head of Planning states that 'developers are including climate change in their plans'. Yes but are they required to build to zero carbon? As the majority of homes are still heated by gas I'm guessing not! @M_ClimateChange @medway_council
