In response to the growing awareness of a climate and ecological crisis, Exminster Parish Council established an Environmental Policy in 2019 to guide its future actions, together with an Environment Working Party tasked with advising it on ways to tackle the twin problems of climate change and loss of biodiversity at a local level.
The Working Party’s Terms of Reference are set by the Council. It consists of a small number of volunteer Councillors and residents.
During its first six months, the Working Party produced a draft Environment Action Plan, which was approved by the Council in May 2020. Since then, the members of the Working Party have been helping the Council to put the actions into effect.
As work has progressed, the Plan has been reviewed and updated.
If you are also concerned about climate change and would like to help these actions to be delivered, please get in touch with us.
