Letter: Climate Coalition mobilises constituents to question MPs on environmental commitments

OnTheWight always welcomes a Letter to the Editor to share with our readers – unsurprisingly they don’t always reflect the views of this publication. If you have something you’d like to share, get in touch and of course, your considered comments are welcome below.

This from John Kelly. Ed


One year on from the General Election there is a mass lobby of MPs in London to find out what has been done in light of the promises made as there is little evidence of concrete action.

A case in point being the CAN Bill being deferred on January on the promise of action and not a lot being done since.

Finding out what has been achieved
The purpose of the lobby is to ask members face-to-face what they have done in the past year, to agree what they can do, set some targets and arrange to meet again to see how much has been achieved.

Climate Coalition
The Climate Coalition is a collection of many concerned organisations. Isle of Wight Conservative MP for Isle of Wight East, Joe Robertson, has agreed to meet with local members of Greenpeace.

Any of his constituents who would like to join the lobby should register with the Climate Coalition to attend.
