Voters in Gedling borough concerned about a council’s response to climate change will have the chance to grill local candidates taking part in the forthcoming elections about how they will help protect the environment.
The events are being organised by Nottingham Climate Change and Nature Monitors – who were set up after becoming disappointed by Nottinghamshire County Council’s reaction to environmental challenges.
They have organised a series of online meetings prior to the elections on May 6, with an event for Gedling borough voters being planned on Thursday, April 29, between 19:30pm – 21:00pm
The meeting will be chaired by Frank Knowles, Chair of the Friends of Gedling House Woods, a former headteacher in Nottinghamshire and school inspector.
Attendees are able to send questions in advance for the candidates or ask them on the day.
A spokesman for the group said: “Would you like to see Nottinghamshire County Council do all within its powers to address climate change? Would you like to see the County Council protect and improve the diversity of habitats within our beautiful County?
“You are warmly invited to meet Candidates standing in your borough and wanting your votes, and hear their plans for Climate and Nature in Nottinghamshire. This is an opportunity to question their proposals in advance of the County Council Elections on May 6th.
“At the meeting, Candidates will present their manifesto commitments and proposals to support climate and nature – this will be followed by audience questions.”
