Climate change

In April 2019, Medway Council declared a climate change emergency.

We're committed to developing proposals to address the climate emergency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The proposals will inform the development of a five-year action plan for Medway.

Our declaration fits into our Council Plan priority of making Medway a place to be proud of. The main outcome being a 'clean and green environment'.

We want to help create more wildlife habitats around Medway, so we've stopped mowing a number of our grass verges. 

We're planting a new generation of trees, which you can support by making a donation.
