We are far from meeting the climate change targets set by both our government and international agreements such as COP26. We must urgently decarbonise our power grid, and reduce the influence of fluctuating overseas fossil fuel prices.
63,119 reports of anti-social behaviour in Essex have gone unattended by police in the past three years, new data has revealed.
The new local radio station for Bedford - Bedford Radio is leading on a community consortium of local community-based radio stations to bring DAB to the Bedford area.
The Conservative Government is failing to deliver the promised 449 more police officers for Essex.
Today (22 April) is Earth Day, a time when each of us is asked to take stock on how they can do their part to tackle the climate emergency facing our planet. Yet there is only so much an individual can do, especially when the major contributions to Medway's carbon emissions are out of their control. A person cannot determine what kind housing is built, the kind of public transport is used or how their homes are powered. Medway Council may only contribute directly to a small percentage of Medway's carbon emissions, but they have the powers to help reduce over 30% those emissions. Therefore if we are going to meet our 2050 net zero target, we are going to need new ambitious policies.
