Councillors
People have started getting in touch with their local councillors with motions on the CEE Bill already been passed by some English councils. If you haven’t yet, do send one of these draft notices of motion to your councillors:
- Draft notice of motion for councils which have declared a climate emergency
- Draft notice of motion for councils which have not declared a climate emergency
And here is a helpful website to find out who your councillors are. Local authorities are important in pushing for change at the national level. Motions are proposals discussed and voted on at council meetings. The more councils across the UK that pass motions in favour of the CEE Bill, the more pressure is put on MPs in those areas to back the Bill in Parliament.
A sample letter for writing to your council is available but please note that you will need to adapt it.
