You could try starting connection again and accept any popup about connecting to audio, via internet 18:15:56 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: … and we have our lovely member Groups… 18:19:07 From Iain to Everyone: is WCA connected to other counties or Orgs? 18:21:28 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: Iain, there are Climate Action Networks in some neighbouring counties, and there are starting to be multi-county meetings in 2022. 18:22:30 From Tess Gorman to Everyone: Hi Iain, we are connected to other groups in Wiltshire, the member groups you can see now! In terms of other counties, we are always keen to share experiences with others and will be having a call with the groups in Dorset and Somerset next week as an example :) 18:22:33 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: WCA is also listed on Friends of the Earth UK’s Take Climate Action interactive map page at https://takeclimateaction.uk/. 18:30:47 From Iain to Everyone: do you use local press? 18:31:54 From Tess Gorman to Everyone: We have used local press contacts previously when we have run campaigns and put out press statements. But always looking for new ways we can develop this relationship! 18:34:38 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: NB: “Update on Medium Term Financial Strategy 2022/23” is on the agenda at next Tuesday morning’s Wiltshire Cabinet meeting. Quote: “Environmental and Climate Change Considerations 58.

Sounds like and opportunity for an innovative business... 18:48:12 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: Mark Saunders, your research is impressive already, welcome on board! 18:49:47 From Gordon Sim to Everyone: Its Dubious whether Large lorries will be replaced. Electric aren't up to it at the minurte. 18:50:14 From Tess Gorman to Everyone: brb! 19:00:22 From Jes Wire, Bradford on Avon to Everyone: I guess if it's urgent it Andrew it should be marked so 19:07:51 From Tess Gorman to Everyone: A side message - if anyone has any photos of our Wiltshire countryside which you'd be up for sharing as part of a social media campaign, please send them my way! Tess@wiltshireclimatealliance.org.uk 19:09:36 From Jes Wire, Bradford on Avon to Everyone: Are we recording 19:11:22 From Eva - Salisbury to Everyone: Not recording, I think we can though if you would like to 19:11:54 From Margaret Green to Everyone: https://dontlookup.count-us-in.com/?fbclid=IwAR0mL-IqKlo-px8mQI1lblS1WtJD4mnc4jQh0JTbBveBvV0klreMlhfs-UI 19:12:41 From Catherine Sustainable Devizes to Everyone: What sort of photos do you want of the Wiltshire countryside, Tess? 19:13:37 From Bean Beanland (HPF) to Everyone: Three years is no time at all. I've been asking government to properly reflect the carbon factor for grid electricity since 2014. Should get a change at last in July this year. 19:14:32 From Tess Gorman to Everyone: Hi Catherine, any photos of wildlife/nature/views that you like in Wiltshire! Would love for these to be photos that you've taken yourself 19:16:08 From Margaret Green to Everyone: No new roads... 19:17:47 From Christian Lange to Everyone: It would be good to get a link to that page 19:18:13 From Christian Lange to Everyone: To register to get meeting documents 19:18:46 From Bean Beanland (HPF) to Everyone: Practical delivery will have to come if the current consultations on the removal of fossil fuels, off-gas, starting in 2024 (large commercial buildings) and 2026 (dwellings and small commercial), get through. This should drive around 10% or so swap outs of oil and LPG for heat pumps per annum. 19:23:55 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: I agree with Stephen’s focus on the elected members. Hopefully we can provoke many of them into putting their cards on the table by speaking at Full Council on 15 Feb. 19:24:31 From Dorothy Robertson to Everyone: When is the demo 19:25:52 From Gordon Sim to Everyone: Gordon for Energy Topic Group. 19:28:09 From Julian Jones to Everyone: ALso important to engage councillors individually / privately before the meetings to discuss the issues 19:28:15 From Sylvia Wyatt to Everyone: Valentines cards are a really good idea. 19:28:50 From Hannah Griffin to Everyone: Do we send them to c/o County Hall? 19:29:13 From Catherine Sustainable Devizes to Everyone: I love the idea of the cards. I think it needs to be positive messages, not negativity. 19:30:15 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: We need to educate council members. On the theory that they mean well, there is an information gap between what they understand now and what they need to know, to make effective climate emergency decisions. Even if only bullet points! 19:30:23 From Eva - Salisbury to Everyone: I think they are to send to councillors individually either to print out or to send as an e-card 19:30:51 From Hannah Griffin to Everyone: How do we find their addresses? 19:30:52 From Gordon Sim to Everyone: YES to Valentine, NO more than 5 Points !. 19:30:53 From Tony Currivan to Everyone: I have some thoughts about making the card more memorable and positive.

Do you see it being a separate zoom for groups or would it be more an information database to pick info from? 20:01:38 From Marie to Everyone: I absolutely agree with this, Hannah. The community focus feels like it has been lost in strategy. 20:03:08 From Eva - Salisbury to Everyone: send anything to go in the newsletter to brig@wiltshireclimatealliance.org.uk 20:03:44 From Eva - Salisbury to Everyone: To get things onto the website e.g. petitions, campaigns, events or resources send to contact@wiltshireclimatealliance.org.uk 20:04:45 From Sylvia Wyatt to Everyone: To Brig for the newsletter. Great Green Bedwyn is an exciting 12 month project to help our community decide what we can do locally about climate change and develop an action plan for our village. The project is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and supported by the Parish Council. 20:06:36 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: Is the time coming for a Business Topic Group?? 20:06:59 From Adam Walton to Everyone: yes I think so! 20:06:59 From Brig Oubridge to Everyone: That's the third time Christian has mentioned beer this evening! 20:07:28 From James Gladding to Everyone: Agree Keith - we've made good progress with local businesses in Calne and we're in discussion with them on a couple of rooftop community solar schemes. You can get power and gas consumption data via BEIS down to a specific postcode level to help identify the largest consuming (and therefore potentially CO2 emitting companies), or alternatively google maps can be a great tool for simply identifying suitable rooftop space. Happy to share more if useful... 20:07:55 From Marie to Everyone: Christian, add: trowbridgeeco@gmail.com for bigger community event. 20:07:57 From Graham Martin to Everyone: @Chris - Sustainable Devizes will be happy to take part 20:08:12 From Paul Jupp to Everyone: I would be happy to help with organising an 'in person' event 20:08:15 From Sylvia Wyatt to Everyone: Agree it would make a massive difference to have a paid person 20:08:21 From Emma Chippenham to Everyone: Hi Would welcome a festival type event where we can all meet, 20:08:48 From Kelly to Everyone: Sylvia ... please can we have a chat about Green Bedwyn see if we could do a feature for BBC Radio Wiltshire, it sounds great!

It's not just vehicles. 20:16:44 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: …and there are farm-related firms like Arla Dairies, Muller, Will;shire Farm Foods... 20:16:46 From Colette Som to Everyone: I'm interested in learning about ground source heat pumps in domestic settings and their costs. cam anyone help? 20:29:00 From Eva - Salisbury to Everyone: contact@wiltshireclimatealliance.org.uk for notes :) 20:29:25 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: Group 4 (Brig etc.,) I wasn’t taking notes! 20:29:26 From Bean Beanland (HPF) to Everyone: Colette, in the interim, you might also find this link useful : https://www.hpf.org.uk/advice/homeowners 20:29:33 From Margaret Green to Everyone: Waste, emmissions and farming 20:29:41 From graham.wright Wiltshire to Everyone: Bill good to see you again must go 20:29:54 From Adam Walton to Everyone: Thanks for coming Graham 20:29:56 From Eva - Salisbury to Everyone: Thanks for joining Graham! 20:30:04 From Gordon Sim to Everyone: Who else is in Area Boards ?. 20:30:19 From Jes Wire, Bradford on Avon to Everyone: How do I get more WCA leaflets?

West Oxfordshire District Council has collaborated with Cotswold District Council and Forest of Dean District Council to produce a Net Zero Carbon Toolkit for those involved with designing and building houses, as well as for home-owners looking to retrofit or extend their existing property. Aimed at small or medium-sized house builders, architects, self-builders and consultants, the toolkit covers a range of steps - from pre-planning right through to construction - for delivering net-zero carbon, low-energy homes. Pulling on latest guidance and best practice, the Net Zero Carbon Toolkit is designed to be a practical, easy-to-follow guide to help plan a net zero housing project. 20:37:33 From Sylvia Wyatt to Everyone: Link is https://www.westoxon.gov.uk/environment/climate-action/how-to-achieve-net-zero-carbon-homes/ 20:38:09 From Andrew Nicolson to Everyone: Brill thanks Sylvia! 20:39:19 From Catherine Sustainable Devizes to Everyone: Tess, sent some photos by e mail. 20:40:29 From Hannah Griffin to Everyone: Not my experience of farmers, sorry! 20:41:51 From Sue Deedigan, Calne Without to Everyone: o sorry Hannah i guess there are all sorts out there 20:42:38 From Hannah Griffin to Everyone: Yes, true, I shouldn't be prejudiced by the dodgy few round here! 20:42:55 From Brig Oubridge to Everyone: Transport must also include public transport.
