Have an input into our Local Nature Action Plan

This important document, adopted by Shipston Town Council, directly impacts all residents. Its purpose is to encourage collective action to address the ongoing decline in biodiversity, enabling Shipston to achieve a balance between the needs of people and wildlife. The Council is seeking your input to help identify opportunities for increasing this.

We invite you to share your thoughts on changes or improvements you would like to see in your area. Would you prefer more trees or the introduction of wildflowers? Are you interested in collaborating with neighbours to create a hedgehog highway? Could we enhance small corners of the town to be more butterfly-friendly? Perhaps you would like to help identify birds or discover which creatures inhabit our hedgerows? One resident has suggested looking after the grass verge by their house and allowing the wild plants in the verge to flower but keeping the edges tidy so
it looks cared for.

Come and find out what the Town Council has in mind, but most importantly say what changes would YOU like undertaken to make Shipston more sustainable.

Please join us for a meeting on 21st April at 7pm in Townsend Hall. This will be an opportunity to share your requests or ideas, or to enquire about the actions being taken by the Town Council.

WORTH KNOWING: There are two thermal imaging cameras which can be borrowed from the council by residents to find out if and where heat is leaking from your home. Act on Energy
can advise on grants to increase the energy efficiency in your home, whether rented or owned. We hope there will be more EV charging points fitted in carparks.
