Newton Abbot climate change
June 2nd, 2008
posted by Cptn
That super market town (or supermarket town if you prefer) is straining at the bit to strut its stuff for climate change and is in the process of setting up an environmental community group.
Group member Jackie Brodie told the PRSD: “Many people are concerned about climate change but feel that they have done as much as they can do to make changes in their own lives.
“This new group will concentrate on inspiring and supporting community-led projects that local people will be able to get involved with. We would like to work towards a positive vision for a more sustainable Newton Abbot, with a strong local economy, increased local democracy, a strengthened local food culture and more local energy provision.
“The main themes at our first meeting were the need for our group to be positive and supportive and to involve all sections and ages in our community, but in particular the young.”
Of course the group wants to hear from you. The next meeting in on Thursday June 19 at 7.45pm, and for more details email jackie@gjbrodie.freeserve.co.uk
If anyone is interested in commenting on the Devon County Council Design Brief for the pedestrianisation of Queen Street, Newton Abbot, there is to be a public consultation event at the Town Hall on June 5 between 10am and 8pm.
