Open Forum event at Ambleside Parish Church May 19^th – 7:30pm   

Climate change, biodiversity, pollution and land management are all a focus in the new Environment Act, passed in 2021. This evening will provide an opportunity for the public and any interest groups to come along and take part in open discussion on the content and impact of this new legislation.

The main speaker for the evening will be Tim Farron.

The following quote from Natural England summarises the key areas the act will cover:

In England, November 2021 saw the very welcome addition to the statute book of a new Environment Act, the most ground-breaking piece of environmental legislation in many years. For the first time this Act will set clear statutory targets for the recovery of the natural world in four priority areas: air quality, biodiversity, water and waste, and includes an important new target to reverse the decline in species abundance by the end of 2030. It sets in law new tools that Natural England and others can use to help meet those targets, which will at last enable us to lift the grim graphs of species decline upward towards a Nature-positive 2030.
Do put this date in your diary and come along to join in the discussion.

This paper by Geoff Sykes was published in Antiquarian Horology in March 2021 – a peer-reviewed journal covering the art and history of time measurement. It discusses the flatbed turret clock in the parish church of Great Langdale which was installed in 1858.

Attached below is a PDF of a public notice (as posted in the Church).

We are applying for permission to set aside an area for the burial of cremated remains in the Thrang Burial Ground, and to erect a memorial to commemorate those buried there.

Should you wish to object to the proposal or works please follow the instructions provided in the notice. Correspondence should reach the Diocesan Registrar by Saturday 26 February 2021.
