Have your say on climate action in Horsham

Horsham District Council has developed a strategy to support the whole of the district to become carbon neutral by 2050 – which is a legal requirement.

Local residents, businesses, community groups and key partners have been invited to give their views on it to help shape future climate action plans.

Horsham Council cabinet member for climate action Colette Blackburn said: “Thank you to everyone who has completed our survey so far, we are delighted with the response and the insightful comments we have received. But we know there are many more of you out there who are yet to give us your views.

“I encourage you all to take this opportunity to share your vision of what climate action within our district should look like, as well as sharing what you are already doing, and what you would like to do if the right support is available.”

The draft strategy includes a 10-year action plan for the council, key partners and the wider community.

The survey closes on August 31. People can read both the draft strategy and the survey at: www.horsham.gov.uk/climateactionstrategy
