Climate Change Mitigation Advisory Group Report

 

Meetings are being held on a weekly basis to structure the ‘What on Earth Can Buckden Do?’ Event.

 

The ‘What on Earth Can Buckden Do?’ Event is moving on fast, layout below not final with Anglia Water, Orangehouse Renewables, Antarctic Survey and many others in the acceptance stage.

 

After careful consideration the Advisory Group has assessed that the event will break even and most possibly make a healthy profit that can go into an environmental fund for the council. There may be some advanced costs that will be recouped at either the end of the event or two to three months after.
