Anthony Mangnall MP meeting

Simon Oldridge from the Climate Action Group met with local MP Anthony Mangnall yesterday to discuss Staverton Parish’s Net Zero emissions initiative including the Energy Audit for which Riverford are donating an organic gift box worth £50 (prize draw at the Breakfast Market)

Mr Mangnall was very interested in the project and extremely keen to support it.  He offered to come and speak at the Staverton & Landscove Climate Fair currently being planned for later this year.

Simon explained that more up-front grant support is needed as most people in the parish don’t have the financial resources to afford the outlay to upgrade their insulation, or replace their oil boilers with air source heat pumps.

Mr Mangnall was very supportive of the energy audit, and asked our Climate Action Group to come and meet with a panel of climate experts that he is setting up to explain the needs of our local community.

Join your Parish Council to make a real difference at a local level

Today, Thursday 12th December, is General Election day (in case you hadn’t noticed!). On that theme, your local Parish Council want to invite you to be part of our local government. We need to find a new Councillor by a process called co-option, which means that people may put themselves forward without going through a local election process.

Who can be a Parish Councillor?
You must be:

  • At least 18 and a British, Commonwealth or European Union Citizen
  • On the electoral roll for the area or have worked or occupied as owner or tenant any land or premises in the district for at least a year

You do not have to be a member of a political party, or be over a certain age to join.

What does a Parish Councillor do?
At a basic level, attend monthly meetings (held on the first Wednesday of the month, alternating between Staverton and Landscove), where planning and community matters are discussed. You can join or lead a Working Group (like the Neighbourhood Plan or Climate Emergency), advocate for changes in our area by speaking to our District Councillor, look after our public spaces and allotments, and just generally seek to make this Parish continue to be a lovely place to live.

Interested?

If you are interested, please send a brief paragraph about yourself and what you can bring to the role to the Clerk. The Clerk, Karen Smith, can be contacted on clerk.stavertonpc@gmail.com.

If you would like to have an informal chat about what it is like to be a Parish Councillor (from a fellow new Councillor), then give Cllr. Carmen Talbot a call/email on 01803 762836 / cllr.talbot@gmail.com
