Our monthly SCA meeting is this Weds 22nd, at 7:30 pm, in the climate hub at 30 Meer Street, CV37 6QB.

We will be joined by councillor Jan Matecki, the portfolio holder for transport and planning at Warwickshire CC, and Councillor Tim Sinclair to talk about local bus services.

There's a UK Government consultation underway about reforms to the Local Government #Pension Scheme. This is complex, but a group from Divest UK have done the leg work to produce a #ClimateChange focused response, that you can now read and hopefully support.

Divest UK response to the government consultation on LGPS pension reform

Please enter your details below to endorse the Divest UK response to the government consultation on LGPS pension reform. We encourage anyone who is an UK citizen to do this. We are trying to record endorsers who are beneficiaries or members of local government pensions in England and Wales as we think this adds weight to our response. You can see the full text of the response here. If you do not have much time there is a chat GPT summary of the response here. The government consultation document is here. We are capturing identity information to legitimize the response. We may pass entered form data onto the UK government if they request it. We will destroy our copy of the form data before the end of 2025. If you are unconformable about this arrangement then we encourage you to enter your own response to the consultation here. Feel free to use the response text if you enter your own response. Please only submit this form as an individual. Please submit a response for a group or organization directly on the government website. We will email the supplied email addresses to verify them. You will not be required to respond to any emails. We will simply ignore entries with inaccessible email addresses. The consultation closes on the 16th January 2025 and this form should be inaccessible at that point.

Stratford-upon-Avon's MP, Manuela Perteghella, is backing the #CANBill to help enshrine the UK's existing promises on #Climate and #Nature in law.

Is your MP doing the same? Or aren't they interested in the UK being a global leader?

Thank you Manuela!
