A Greener Faringdon

EV Charging Point Map

Did you know we are soon to have electric vehicles (EVs) charging points in our town centre, at Southampton Street car park?

For the first time ever, EVs are predicted to outsell diesel cars in the UK this year, according to SMMT (one of the largest trade bodies in the UK). And whilst the cost of EVs steadily drops and public charging more widespread, ‘range anxiety’ (the fear of running out of charge on the road) still holds many people back from switching to EVs.

This data-rich and fully interactive map will help you find all the public charging stations nearest to you – https://www.autotrader.co.uk/cars/electric/charging-points/

Five Climate change action groups as the result of the Climate Emergency Public Meeting

On the 7th October 2019 people from the community of Faringdon attended a Public Climate Emergency Meeting. People gathered together to express their perception of Climate Change and to share ideas and suggestions on how to respond to climate change as a whole community.

The Mayor of Faringdon, Councillor Mike Wise, opened the meeting, giving a brief on how FTC has responded to Climate Change since signing the Nottingham Declaration in 2007.

The meeting had seven tables, each with different discussion topic, with people moving around every 15 minutes.

At the end of the discussion the members of the meeting created 5 Climate Change actions groups:

Plastic Free Action Group
Green Transports Action Group
Community Green Energy Action Group
Recycling Action Group
Nature Action Group
