District and Parish/Town Council elections are fast approaching, on 4 May. Many of those concerned for the environment and the impacts of climate change have been asking their election candidates across the Mid Sussex District to sign the ABCD Pledge and the Scaynes Hill Sustainability Group sent this invitation to all the District Council candidates for their ward. The pledge, produced by the South East Climate Alliance (SECA), means that candidates commit to pressing their Council to: Accelerate action to reflect the urgency of the climate and biodiversity crisis; Boost partnerships for action; Communicate clearly on climate and nature; Divest from fossil fuels. Some 250 candidates from across the region have now signed the pledge, including 3 from Lindfield ward – Anne-Marie Cooke (Lib Dem), David Wooley (Green) & Cavan Wood (Green). Pictured above is Paul Brown (Green), who is the only candidate from Linfield Rural and High Weald to sign the pledge so far.
