Glossop protestors launch 'Warm This Winter' campaign

Tuesday, 30 August 2022 15:21

During their protest about the Jackdaw Gas field last Saturday, members of High Peak Green New Deal and Glossop Women's Strike for Climate took the opportunity to launch a 'Warm This Winter' campaign.

This has been set up by a wide coalition of charities including Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Oxfam, Save the Children and many more.

It has four main demands: Emergency support to help families pay fuel bills now; an urgent programme to insulate and upgrade homes; the tripling of renewable energy by 2030; and no new oil and gas fields to be approved.

Campaigners will be out knocking on doors this weekend to gather support for this new initiative.
