Consultation on Environment Plan

The Environment Committee's work covers quite a range of issues and projects.  It is all outlined on the Environment Plan which not only makes it easier for people to see what is being done, but also the purpose of the projects.  We are currently consulting people on this area of our operations - what do you think?  Do you have any views on how the projects are being carried out?  Do you have suggestions for new projects, which would fit in with our environmental aims?

To make is easier for people to comment we have produced a questionnaire for you to fill in.  Alternatively, you can send in your own comments by letter or email.  Whichever way you decide to use, please send in your response to Rachel.  Do remember to include your name and address, as anonymous contributions cannot be taken account of.

All comments and suggestions will be considered, and may be added to the next version of the Environment Plan.

Thank you in advance for taking part.
