Climate Change Action Plan

Epping Forest District Council has previously pledged to do all it can to be carbon neutral by 2030. The Climate Change Action Plan presented to Overview and Scrutiny for comments set out to demonstrate actions being taken by the Council. It focuses on the identification of carbon emissions and the actions to reduce them both within the Council and across the wider district area. The plan aligns with the corporate objectives of keeping the district moving sustainably.

Get active and save money

From goal posts and tennis nets to crazy golf sets and circus show kits, residents can now borrow a new range of equipment to get active from libraries across the county. Find Your Active has teamed up with the BLUEPRINT to a Circular Economy Project and the Essex Library Service to loan free equipment to get residents active. The £5,000 additional funding from Find Your Active sees new items — including basketball hoops, football kits and more — added to the current Essex Library of Things stock. The service will also help to reduce waste by encouraging residents to borrow, return and share items, instead of purchasing products, using them once and sending them to landfill. The Essex Library of Things launched in September 2021 and 247 library members have since requested to borrow items. Residents can borrow items free of charge from Chelmsford, Witham, Great Parndon (Harlow), Clacton-On-Sea and Laindon Libraries, as well as the mobile library service. Although not in North Weald or Epping, Harlow is not too far and it may be a good idea for the summer holidays to order yours now and you can have some found outside without any requirement to purchase equipment. Find out more about the Essex Library of Things and start borrowing today at loveessex.org/libraryofthings.
