Last night the Neeld Hall in Chippenham hosted the Ask the Climate Question hustings with a panel of 6 candidates and around 60 audience members. Enthusiastic locals patiently waited their turn to quiz the candidates on questions ranging from renewable energy and policy to green taxes and public transport. The panel’s responses stimulated a lively debate from a diverse, engaged audience and you couldn’t help but leave the venue further contemplating the issues and feeling a sense of content that a climate change-focussed meeting had taken place. http://asktheclimatequestion.org.uk/geo/chippenham/
The next SW ACQ hustings to take place are in Weston-Super-Mare on 15th April and West Dorset (Dorchester) & Bristol North West both on 16th April so go along if you want to help make sure climate change is at the top of the Government’s agenda http://asktheclimatequestion.org.uk/
