Thanks to all those who joined last nights CEE Bill online event.  For those who missed it or had difficulty in joining the virtual meeting a recording was made and will be available to view soon. 

A reminder that if you support the Climate and Ecological Emergency CEE Bill and would like to send a post card urging Robert Courts to support the Bill,  you can pick up a card from the Corner House and pop it into our collection box.

I tried to sign the petition but when my name appeared it said I lived in  Ipswich so I can’t see Mr Courts taking much notice of me!

Witney Town Council have also approved a similar motion this week supporting the CEE Bill. So that list of local authorities just keeps on growing, Robert Courts should be engaging with this conversation with his constituents. Please sign the petition here asking for Robert Courts support of the CEE Bill.

Yes Gareth,

It's a "social media" thing.  ;-)

Subtlety and irony are harder to pull off here, aren't they?

Gareth,

He won't.

Excellent news.  Perhaps Mr Courts will now find the online event in his in-tray and tell us how he will support the Bill?

Great News, Liz Leffman's motion to Oxfordshire County Council Councillors to urge MPs to support the CEE Bill has been passed, demonstrating that Oxfordshire is showing great leadership

I am proposing a motion at OCC's full council meeting on December 8th asking councillors to urge the county's MPs to support this bill through parliament

Charlbury Town Council voted to become a supporter of this bill at its meeting in October.  This is an indication the council's seriousness in acting in accordance with its declaration of a climate emergency at the end of 2019.

The council's Environment Working Group (councillors and others) has put together a programme of work for 2021 and is seeking funding from the council to implement projects that all relate to understanding carbon emissions in Charlbury and around, and in how to start reducing them.  The projects include mapping our natural resources, tree management and planting, soil analysis, electric cycling and pedestrianisation, and more. 

If anyone would like to participate in any of our projects, or the Environment Working Group, please do get in touch.
