HAYWARDS HEATH RESPONSE TO THE CLIMATE CHANGE
Haywards Heath Town Council is very conscious of the issues around climate change and has been proactive in looking at ways the Council delivers services, promotes and develops new initiatives within the Town and how it can act as a signposting/supporting body for residents, local businesses and voluntary organisations. We were very proud to become the first Town Council to create an Environment Working Group in July 2018, which reports into the Council’s Environment and General Purposes Committee which looks at Environment issues.
