Following the announcement of the general election and the beginning of the pre-election ‘purdah’ period, we have unfortunately been advised to postpone the next Climate Change Forum meeting which had been planned for 6th June.  We are now moving the forum meeting to Tuesday 16th July, 6pm-8pm at the Council Chamber, Town Hall, Rose Hill, Chesterfield, S40 1LP.

Thank you to everyone who was able to join the action planning meeting on 15th May – we shared lots of ideas and will continue to progress and hope to have lots to update you with when we meet in July.

We hope you are able to join us. If you have any queries in the meantime, please get in touch.
