Chesham Community Assembly No 1
First Community Assembly in Chesham – Done!
“What might we do in Chesham to build our resilience in the face of a changing climate?”
The results of the first assembly are in!
What a great session! We had people from all sorts of groups attending, this included a wide age demographic and also a small representation of some minority groups. We will be working to get a more accurate representation of our local demographic for future assemblies.
Yes, future assemblies! All those who attended agreed it was a good way to come together as a community to discuss local issues around the climate and ecological emergency. The general consensus was that the next assembly should have a solution focused remit.
The main themes that people wanted to address included;
- How local community groups could come together to effect change
- Water (supply, demand, flooding, pollution)
- Transport and air quality
- Wildlife
- Buildings
- Community food growing
