We have hosted two dedicated Climate Emergency Steering Group meetings, with a range of guest speakers and workshops. We’ve also held two dedicated themed events: our Bat Chat in October 2019 and our Green Homes event in January 2020. Further public events will be scheduled as and when permitted under COVID-19 restrictions.
Though the Town Council What’s On page is reserved for TC events and those held at our venues, we have also created an exception for events relating to the Climate and Ecological Emergencies, which are eligible to be advertised on both this site and our Explore Bradford on Avon site. If you are holding a live or online event you can register it via our Explore site HERE noting the category as ‘Environment & Climate Change‘.
Both Town Councillors and Officers often attend Climate Friendly Bradford on Avon (CFBOA) meetings and events, with many CFBOA members also in attendance at Town Council Committee meetings.
The Town Council has also partnered with Bath and North East Somerset (BANES) Council to co-host a Climate Action Day, facilitated by the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) for Town and Parish Councils on 26th November 2020. The event will enable co-working and sharing of ideas – acknowledging that the Climate and Ecological Emergencies do not stop at Town, Parish or County borders. Other Councils in attendance include Winsley, Freshford, Monkton Farleigh and Corsham.
