Climate action town

posted by Cptn

Newton Abbot

There are calls for those interested in starting up a Newton Abbot Climate Action Group to attend the launch of the town’s community action plan, which takes place at Bearnes School (next to Argos) on Saturday April 5, between 2pm and 6pm.

It seems that one of the aims of the community action plan is the setting up of such an environmental group (which may or may not be along the lines of the good work already undertaken by Bovey Climate Action).

The move follows on from the impetus started at The Last Polar Bear event at Coombeshead College.

Fighting discrimination

posted by Cptn
Equality South West

The fight against discrimination continues with the formation of the new South West Transgender Equality Network is to tackle discrimination.

Co-chair Helen Thompson told the PRSD: “Although it’s against the law to discriminate against someone because of their sex, a lot of it goes on, especially for people who are transgender.

“This is especially true when it comes to looking for jobs. Often it’s not out in the open – it’s secondary discrimination, but it happens nonetheless.”

One in every 10,000 people in the UK is estimated to be a male-to-female transgender (which means there would be 500 in the South West), and one in every 31 is a female-to-male (160 in the South West).
