Matching funding is being sought to fund further baseline studies including an EV charging assessment. The project will last for 12 months at the end of which the parish will have developed a climate action plan aimed at reducing our net carbon emissions to zero by 2030/35.

They will also help to support the steering group, re-establish working groups on Food, Energy, Transport, and Biodiversity, and generally support the project.
