Kenilworth Town Council Declare a Climate Emergency
Kenilworth Town Council
After decades of Tory-led councils, Kenilworth Town Council is currently led by the Green Party.
The Green Party became the largest party in May 2019, and on 1 August 2019 the Town Council declared a Climate Emergency, and aimed “to encourage and enable public and community-led carbon reduction schemes within Kenilworth”.
The Town Council’s Climate Emergency Working Group is going strong, championing the reduction of carbon-emissions, recovery of nature, tree-planting schemes, raising awareness, and many more local initiatives.
If you’re passionate about this vital subject, please get in touch and join the working group.
Climate Emergency
The Climate Emergency Working Group created a Climate Emergency Roadmap to show how Kenilworth can achieve the carbon reductions required.
A key driver to the success of this essential work is that we have involved non-council individuals and groups from the community throughout taking in a wealth of local, professional expertise.
Action
The Green Voice is being put into action with K2L cycleway funding being secured, the creation of a Kenilworth Cycling Strategy and pressure on developers to meet the net zero carbon targets to name a few.
However, being on the Town Council means that we also must be active in other areas such as Tourism, Town Events, Planning, Council Finances and most importantly, representing the Kenilworth residents with any concerns and issues.
Your Thoughts
Kenilworth Green Party is putting residents front and centre by conducting various surveys to get residents’ voices heard. We continue to hold regular Action Days in the town which cover topics such as Air Quality and 20s Plenty which we believe are for the common good.
If you live in the Kenilworth area we would love to hear from you.

“This is a very welcome and exciting initiative for the town. It underlines the urgency by which we all have to reduce our carbon footprints as the country moves towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050.”
Green Party member and former Leader of the Council John Dearing
