ZCH is a local climate action charity (and member of the North Yorkshire Climate Coalition) which seeks to work with elected representatives and advocates for ambitious, effective climate policies. Key areas of interest are the overall vision for rapid local transition to a net zero economy, warm homes, cleaner, cheaper homegrown energy, cleaner travel and upskilling for a low carbon economy.
The hope is that the Hustings will provide Mayoral candidates with a constructive opportunity to engage with local residents and business people around the climate agenda. This is a new departure in electoral terms, placing new powers in the hands of single successful candidate.
It’s a great opportunity to hear the views of those who wish to serve the public good in this way.
Anyone is welcome to attend.
Go to the Zero Carbon Harrogate website to register to attend and to submit any questions you would like to put to the candidates www.zerocarbonharrogate.org.uk
