The EAG aims to raise public awareness of the environment and to encourage positive action to keep it healthy. The environment is defined as "the surroundings, conditions and circumstances in which a person lives."
Regeneration. - We are kept informed and will be involved.
We investigate, research and resolve issues that are raised by Forum members and by the Forum Management, or indeed any matter thought to be appropriate for our attention. The group corresponds with the Council or any other organisation that may control or influence environmental issues in our region. We comprise 10 – 12 members and meet every two months or so.
Some items of involvement over the past 7 years have been: park homes, footpaths, bridleways, road traffic calming, speed humps, mobile phone masts, housing, waste recycling, street lighting, leisure facilities, transport plans and potholes. Our current agenda includes the Southwater Development, air quality throughout Telford, Veolia composting plant at Granville and frequency of waste collection.
We have also resolved issues for individual members. These include wheelchair access to footpaths, localised street lighting and disposal of dangerous chemicals.
