On 21 May, Coventry Green New Deal will launch its alternative to Coventry City Council’s Climate Strategy For Coventry.
As we have reported on this website, Coventry’s Climate Change Strategy ran out in 2020.
In March 2023, only three years late, the city finally got round to publishing a draft of the replacement strategy which was supposed to cover the period from 2020 to 2030.
For a highly critical article on this “strategy” see this article by David Ridley and Tom Maidment of Coventry Green New Deal.
Read more about the draft strategy here or a summary version here. And in case that isn’t enough, there is more information here.
Now Coventry Green New Deal has produced its own strategy. They say that the City Council’s community consultation was minimal so they brought together a panel of people with expertise across several fields and written a Draft Shadow Strategy which they will ask the Council to adopt or incorporate into its own.
But before they do that they want to ensure they have struck the right balance in what they have prepared so far. At this meeting they will show what they have done and give the audience the chance to help shape the finished document.
The meeting has a second objective.
Coventry Green New Deal would like to know if people think there is room for a Green Coalition in Coventry and, if so, what it would look like.
The meeting will start at 1pm in Coventry Central Methodist Hall. Register here or just show up.
