Stourbridge Climate Action new website was launched on 30 September 2026.
The website provides a list of actions residents can easily take with a click of a button and updates on the actions the group undertakes.
Please check our home page for further information.
We’ve made it easy to write to your ward councillors about climate change, the risks facing our communities and the action you want them to support.
Our suggested email draws on research into the council’s climate commitments and local responsibilities. It asks specific questions about what councillors are doing to reduce emissions and help residents prepare for fires, flooding and very hot weather. Please review and personalise it before sending.
Thank you for taking action!
Please share this post with friends and family. The more residents who contact their representatives, the harder it will be to overlook our concerns—and the stronger the case for action.
Stourbridge Climate Action is hosting a special community afternoon screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing film about climate change and what we can do about it on Saturday 24 Oct 2026 at St Thomas Church Hall, DY8 1AG. Doors opening 12:30 PM film screening 1:00- 3:00 PM.
The recent heatwaves and fires witnessed across Dudley Borough prompted the forming of a new action group; Stourbridge Climate Action and to host our own screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing.
It’s important that as many people as possible see this film up and down the country and become aware of the issues and how we can all contribute to addressing these.
Tickets are free but as seats are limited please book in advance.
On 5 September 2026, we met with Cat Eccles MP to discuss climate change and how our local authority needs to adapt to its effects.
We raised concerns about the risk of fires affecting residents whose homes border fields and green spaces, following the fires in Norton. As an example, the fields in Pedmore and Wollescote which are bordered by residential streets and were bone dry during the drought. These fields and houses carry the same risk of fire as the 19 houses which were burned down in Norton.
Cat Eccles told us that the Government was planning a fire summit on the autumn. She also said that the Prime Minister had spoken about the need to invest in additional resources for fire brigades.
We thanked her for her long-term commitment to environmental issues around climate change and protecting nature.
We asked her to raise our concerns with Dudley Council, which has a direct role in assessing and planning for these risks and working with partner agencies to protect local residents.
