Minutes:

Witnesses:

 

Rachel Crossley, Director of Strategic Commissioning

Katie Sargent, Environment Commissioning Group Manager

 

Key points raised:

 

1.    The Director of Strategic Commissioning informed Members that there were a number of upcoming workshops - tree-planting, cycle-mapping and no plastics in schools - to increase engagement and the Communications Team were heavily involved.

2.    The Task and Finish Group were also informed that there was a podcasting project and it would be useful if Members helped with this.

3.    NB – greater creativity was a positive way to increase engagement and to be accessible to all generations.

4.    In response to Member suggestions on the usefulness of ‘school strike for the climate’ groups, the Environment Commissioning Group Manager commented that the school strike group in Guildford had stopped engagement with the Council due to drilling decisions by one of the Council’s partners - Barclays.
