Glastonbury Town Council's Climate Emergency Working Group will hold a second People's Assembly in the Town Hall on Saturday January 25.

This is an opportunity for residents to collectively discuss the urgent situation created by climate change and ecological destruction, and make decisions so that all voices are heard and equally valued. 

The Main Hall will be open from 11am to 3.30pm and will accommodate more people than the October People's Assembly when the small hall was filled to capacity.

Presentations will take place between 11am and noon. The assembly is scheduled from 12.30pm to 3.30pm.

The January assembly will continue to focus on the three areas of transport, food and local environment.

There will be presentations on these by Robert Macbeth of Glastonbury Growers Group, Anna Francis the Frome Town Council resilience officer, Sonya Bedford of Avalon Community Energy and the town and district councillor Jon Cousins. The assembly will be facilitated by Indra Donfrancesco. 

A spokesperson for the council said: "This is an on-going process.

"In the short-term we need to have local strategies and actions for living with a reduced environmental impact.

"In the longer term we may even find ourselves having to provide basic services from our own community resources.

"Future assemblies will discuss other areas that need addressing such as energy, health care, waste-disposal and education. Please come to ensure your voice is heard."
