Climate and Ecological Emergency

This Advisory Committee considers matters in relation to the Town Council’s Climate & Ecological Emergencies. A group of Glastonbury Councillors and residents makes recommendations to the full Council for consideration. 

Following Glastonbury Town Council’s declaration of the Climate Emergency, a group of town councillors and individuals first met in July 2019 to discuss and support local projects that help to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, protect the environment, and create a more climate-resilient community.

Councillor membership: Serena Roney-Dougal, Mike Smyth, Lindsay MacDougall.

If you are interested in getting involved with the Climate Emergency Advisory Committee, please contact Serena. Roney-Dougal – serena.roneydougal@glastonbury.gov.uk

You can also meet members of CEEAC and pick up useful information at the weekly stall in the St Dunstan’s carpark market on Tuesdays.
