This Friday, I will be hosting a conference on climate change, Net Zero by 2050- A Policy Response.

The conference will be chaired by Baroness Brown of Cambridge, Vice Chair of the Committee on Climate Change. There are a limited number of last-minute tickets still available. If you are interested in attending, please do register on the Eventbrite link below.

The conference will take place at the Rothamsted Conference Centre, West Common, Harpenden, AL5 2JQ.

How we are to achieve net zero by 2050 is a subject that merits much wider discussion, and that conversation needs to take place between politicians, civil servants, academics, investors, and the main players in every area of industry. This event will offer a great opportunity for these discussions to take place with industry experts and local campaigners attending. As there are extra places available, we are extending the invitation to join the experts, campaigners and industry leaders to discuss what is required for the UK to achieve the 2050 target.

The conference is intended to start at 8.30am, and to finish at 4pm. Refreshments and a lunch will be provided. The discussions will be spread across three broad themes – economy, ecology and energy. I do hope you can attend and look forward to seeing you there.

The aim for the conference is three-fold:
a) Identify the policy changes required if the UK is to meet its net zero emissions target by 2050.
b) Develop a practical set of policy proposals that can be taken to the Government level for debate and implementation.
c) Amplify the public voice and harness public opinion to direct decision making.

ICKLEFORD PRIMARY SCHOOL:

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon discussing the urgent building works required for Ickleford primary school.

Alongside Miles Maxwell, Chair of Governors (a fantastic Chair by the way), I made our case to Hertfordshire County Council’s executive member for Education Cllr Terry Douris, and members of his team.

I’m pleased to say that real progress has been made:

(1) All the necessary works will be completed by the end of this school year.

(2) Herts County Council recognises that certain works are immediate, and cannot wait. They are going to revert next week as to when these can be completed, but we are hopeful that this can be in the coming weeks rather than months.

(3) In addition to dealing with the immediate issues, Herts County Council have agreed to detailed discussions with the school itself to more effectively help them manage the maintenance and improvements to their very historic building, over the coming months and years. …
