Climate change

Our Draft Climate Change Strategy was recently put out for consultation and comments were invited from members of the community. Please see the relevant documents section (to the right) for the PDF versions of this Strategy.

As part of LDCs consultation on the Draft Climate Change Strategy a series of presentations and question sessions were held at various venues around Lewes District during August and September.

It is anticipated that the final Strategy will be presented to the Council's Cabinet Meeting for approval in January 2007.

The Draft Climate Strategy can be found on the LDC website (see the Relevant Documents section of this page).

Please come and feed in your views and tell anyone that may be interested.

Any further comments can be sent  to sustainability@lewes.gov.uk.
