PRESS RELEASE
Southwell Town Council has officially declared a Climate Emergency as part of its role in helping to mitigate climate change.
The Council is looking at the environmental impacts of its policies and procedures and actively seeking funding opportunities to improve environmental performance. It will be lobbying relevant bodies to ensure local developments minimise environmental emissions, striving for improved local public transport and developing a communication strategy to raise awareness within the local community and influence behaviour changes.
Southwell Town Council will work in partnership with local and national groups to develop positive changes over the next ten years to create a carbon neutral organisation and environmentally-focused town.
