The photograph above shows Cathie & Ian Newton, Sue Ward(CAFOD rep), & Deacon Bernard Ward, all from St. Teresa’s Parish in Cleveleys, at their meeting with local MP Mr Paul Maynard. This meeting was to highlight the urgency of CAFOD’s campaign with regards to all the international, national and local issues that the climate crisis raises.
The one hour meeting concluded with a positive and pro-active response from the MP Paul Maynard. He promised to put pressure on the government to ensure 2030 targets were met for reducing carbon emissions. We also discussed issues closer to home such as building on Green land/Brown land/Green belt and all that implies. We felt encouraged by Paul’s enthusiasm and support, not just for CAFOD but for the wider issues relevant to COP26.
Thank you all for taking the issues to Paul
