At the last meeting it was agreed that Ide Parish Council would sign the Devon Climate Declaration, This is much in line with what they are doing already in the village, but they want to be working together with County, District and other Parishes as much as possible. There is a full link to the declaration here https://www.devonclimateemergency.org.uk/devon-climate-declaration/

As District Councillor it is really nice to see cooperation like this between County and Parishes, and to help with cooperation between the Parishes.
