An open letter to ELDC:
Dear East Lindsey District Council,

Climate change is a very important issue. It is our belief, one that is shared by everyone who has signed our petition, that the efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change locally should be improved upon. We live in a coastal area that will be drastically impacted by the effects of climate change, and we would really appreciate seeing a more proportionate response to the risk.

One way this can be achieved is through declaring a climate emergency. Several councils across the county have already come this. These include a Boston Borough Council, Horncastle Town Council, City of Lincoln Council and North Kesteven District Council. These councils have put environmental concern and impact at the forefront of the agenda, putting funding and effort into ensuring they are doing as much as they can locally, like installing EV chargers in car parks. There is absolutely no reason why ELDC shouldn’t do the same. 

It is of paramount importance to us, especially for future generations, that action is taken now to reduce the effects of a climate crisis. ELDC, we strongly urge you to engage with us and the public, and to declare a climate emergency and take action now.

Thank you,

Lincolnshire Climate Conscious Students
