‘Small changes can make a big difference’
Councillor Dominic Moffitt, the council’s cabinet member for climate action, said: “Tackling the climate crisis is a key priority. We are expanding electric vehicle charging points, planting thousands of trees, making it easier for residents to recycle, and so much more.”
“But we need everyone to play their part. With nearly 400,000 people living in the borough, even small changes can add up to make a big difference.”
