Henfield Parish Council’s Climate and Environment Emergency Declaration, adopted in June 2019.

Henfield Parish Council joins the UK Government, and many other parish, town and county councils in declaring a Climate and Environment Emergency. This will mean we always consider the climate and environmental impact of our decisions in the Parish Council’s areas of operation and influence.
