Our well-attended day at Plungington Community Centre was full of interest.
Information about the ‘Better Buses‘ campaign was brought to us from South Yorkshire by Fran Prostlethwaite.
See here for that and for details of the input we had from Friends of the Guild Wheel and Community Energy Preston. Julie’s presentation about Preston Pedals is attached here.
We also heard from Alex Conroy about the experience of being part of Preston’s Climate Jury and the satisfaction of having its 24 recommendations accepted by PCC.
A BBC North West news item featuring members of the Jury was broadcast on Tuesday 22nd October. You can read about this here. Some members of the Climate Jury are now planning to hold a Climate Festival in association with Let’s Grow Preston’s Spring Fair on May 31st. The next planning meeting (some CAP members are part of this) takes place at 6pm on November 6th at the Town Hall, Lancaster Road, PR1 2RL
Helen Rimmer from NW FoE once more facilitated the day, drawing out points of achievement and challenge from CAP’s activities of the last year.
Overall, an energising and useful day!
