Climate Emergency Question Time well attended

The event at Coombeshead Academy last thursday was well attended.

Here is a video of some of the answers. For most questions only one of the candidate’s answers is shown, in the hustings each candidate was given equal time to answer.

And some pictures from the event.

What people said about the event

Audrey Compton said:

Thank you so much for coming to Climate Questions on Thursday – it was a brilliant evening. Our six Green, Labour and Lib Dem candidates for Central Devon and Newton Abbot (Mel Stride and Anne Marie Morris DIDN’T come, I’m afraid) answered lots of the questions you’d sent in – and agreed on so many Climate and Environmental issues. How about a Climate Coalition, chaps? We also celebrated ACT’s achievements over the last five months – and looked ahead at our plans! Then we enjoyed mulled wine, mulled apple juice and delicious, local, unpackaged mince pies!!!! It was a really good evening – special thanks to nearly 30 ACT members who helped on the night and made it happen.

Dick de Vicq said; ” The event was well organised, well attended, and lively – with useful discussions over mulled wine/ tea afterwards. “

Gordon Hook said: “I attended the Action on Climate in Teignbridge hustings at Coombeshead Academy last evening. I’m pleased I did; a good night.
An almost full theatre witnessed six of the nine candidates standing for election next Thursday in Newton Abbot and Central Devon, answer a large number of questions, which had been pre-submitted by members of the audience.”
