climate action plan 2025-2030 end of consultation VERY SOON
Tue 1 October 2024

Hi all

i wrote something earlier last week requesting people to respond to the climate action plan consultation. for some reason it didn't transmit to anyone and has disappeared from this site. if you got it before, i apologise for wasting your time again.

there is a noticeable push back in the UK against actions to reduce climate emissions and mitigation measures. Please respond to the Reading action plan consultation so that it is clear that Reading people are interested in this problem.

This is not a request for you to just say "the strategy and action plan is just brilliant"! The board and theme leads would welcome reasoned arguements for and against specific actions to improve the existing documents.
