Medway climate emergency

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

The issue is said to be causing four-mile tailbacks! 😫 https://t.co/TSn1jt7mwo

@medway_council want to end the brilliant #Nomowmay campaign despite declaring a #climateemergency. We won't address climate change and biodiversity loss by doing what we've always done. There are simple solutions to the complaints raised. Please sign the petition.

@futurechatham @medway_council @M_ClimateChange @ConnectedKerb @OZEVgovuk @MedwayChange @_VillageVoices @KellyTolhurst @MartinMPotter @HabibTejan Great start but Medway has a long way to go on this. We have very few charging points considering our population size. Not just about public parking though- supermarkets, shopping centres, education estate, petrol stations,fast food outlets and housing providers all have a role

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 https://t.co/oAh5qVRK3O

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 ✅✅✅
