Stratford’s new green hub to open next week offering climate change advice and support
STRATFORD’S new Climate Hub will feature an exhibition space, information centre and volunteers on-hand to answer people’s questions.
The hub, which has been set up by the town’s environmental groups as Net Zero Stratford, will open to the public next Thursday (16th May).
The ground floor of the building at 30 Meer Street will also have display boards, reading material and a sofa to sit, relax and browse the books and magazines.
The space will also be used to host the hub’s programme of events.
On the first floor there will be a meeting room, which will be available for local groups to hire and to use as office space where people can work together on climate issues.
There will also be a training facility for Carbon Literacy Training courses.
Stephen Norrie, chairman of Net Zero Stratford, said: “We believe that to achieve a sustainable life on this planet, we need to put climate action at the heart of our community.
“We know we need to reach net zero to avoid catastrophic impacts, but the transition can also bring great benefits to people's lives. This will be more likely to happen the more ordinary people are able to participate in actively shaping how the transition unfolds.
“The Climate Hub will allow people to find out what is happening locally, and to get involved.”
The hub will be open on Thursday and again on Saturday, 18th May, 10am till 4pm, with further dates to be announced.
