Responding to the climate emergency


1.      The Parish Council and the Parish Plan Steering Group are working on ideas about  how Rattery might take collective action in light of the climate emergency.

v    Over the next few months, the various advisory groups will:
  •       assess the current state of affairs;
  •       suggest things that the Parish Council and other bodies might do directly;
  •       ways to encourage and support action by individuals; and 
  •       ways to lobby local/national government.
You could help by send us your ideas or joining one of the groups  - the parish website has all the details. Or simply send an email to any of the parish councillors.

The aim is to have a clear plan of action early next year.

One thing we could do is to plant more trees in the parish. The UK national target is for 17% of landcover to be woodland by 2050.  Currently 12% of the parish is woodland and to reach the national target we would need to plant 50 hectares of woodland  - roughly 80,000 trees!

  1. I wonder if there could be more one-stop recycling in the village hall car park - perhaps the parish could set up a greater collection of containers - say for the contents of the blue and clear bags (rather as they do in French villages) - with a view to reducing the distance travelled by the recycling fleet? Most of us go out and about by car during the week and we are accustomed to using the glass recycling facility - I realise there would be difficulties for some, but perhaps worth considering?
