The Council declared a climate emergency at the August Town Council meeting in 2019.  A PDF copy of that declaration is published HERE. An Environment Day was held in October 2019 which was a very successful and well-attended event.  Like many other organisations we have had to curtail what we have done over the past 18 months because of the pandemic but hope to resume consideration of suitable projects very soon.

This Policy was discussed and approved by Councillors.

This group was formed as a Working Party of the Full Council and meets regularly to consider matters which
relate to climate change, sustainability, environmental issues and anything else that could assist to make Axminster
a greener, friendlier, more sustainable town.

The Working Group is co-chaired by Cllrs. Bernie Steadman and Angela Huskisson.
See the Councillors page for their contact details.

Members of the public are cordially invited to join the meetings (by invitation) if they believe they can contribute to
the business, aims, objectives and goals of this group.
