We are very pleased that Falmouth Town Council recently joined Cornwall Council and several other local Parish Councils in declaring a Climate Emergency.
There is an initial meeting on Tuesday 9th April, 7pm, at the Council Chambers on the Moor for groups working on climate change issues to share a brief report on their activities locally and to discuss the actions needed to rise to the challenge of the Climate Emergency.
Our regular monthly gatherings for Transition Falmouth and Falmouth LETS are again at the PennyComeQuick pub on Falmouth Moor from 7pm on Wednesday 3rd April. All welcome!
