Public meeting in Wem to look at climate change
People in Wem are being urged to go along to a public meeting later this month to discuss climate change.
Town councillors say the climate crisis is one of the biggest challenges facing the world.
The council has declared a climate emergency and wants individuals to commit to do all they can to tackle the problem.
The meeting will be held at the Wem Sports and Social Club on Wednesday, October 16, at 7pm.
In July the council met to talk about how to reduce the town’s carbon footprint and discuss the prospect of becoming a ‘green town’.
The commitment is also aimed at helping the area to achieve the national goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 60 per cent by 2050.
At the public meeting there will be speakers and public questions to allow the council to explore ways in which townsfolk can tackle climate change together.
