Ask Your Councillors To Act On Climate Change

The fires in Stourbridge this summer have shown why we need to plan for the risks facing our communities. That includes fires near homes and green spaces, flooding, and very hot weather that can put vulnerable residents at particular risk.

Your three ward councillors can help press for action. We drafted three emails for your to use with a press of a button.

Step 1: Engage

Choose your ward below to open a draft email asking what they are doing to protect residents and move forward with a borough-wide climate plan.

Before sending, please review and personalise the message. Add any concerns about your own area, then replace the placeholders with your full name and address so your councillors know you live in their ward. The button opens an email draft; it does not send it for you.

Step 2: They answered. Ask them what actions they are currently taking or will take

Use the button below to generate the email, add your councillor’s email addresses and name, your name and address and press send!

Step 3: Chase them if they haven’t answered to your first email.

Use the button below to generate the email, add your councillor’s email addresses and name, your name and address and press send!

Let us know if they replied

Once you receive an answer (or get not reply) please complete this short questionnaire https://forms.gle/qgX1STHffdiyi4J6A

Your feedback will help Stourbridge Climate Action follow up on unanswered questions and publish occasional summaries of how representatives are responding.

Thank you for taking action!

Please share this post with friends and family. The more residents who contact their MP and councillors, the harder it will be to overlook our concerns—and the stronger the case for action.
