Padstow Town Council
Padstow Town Council votes to support Plastic Free Padstow
On Tuesday evening, 30th January 2018, the Council: ‘RESOLVED to a) i) support Plastic Free Coastlines; ii) commit to plastic free alternatives and iii) support plastic free initiatives within the constituency and b) to propose that Councillor Richard Higman, as a representative of Padstow Town Council, be appointed to the Plastic Free Coastlines Steering Group.’
The Council has already removed plastic water bottles and plastic cutlery from the premises and are working towards having no takeaway cups in the offices.
Local councils are in a unique position to lead change within local areas. They are influencers over local schools, businesses and community organisations.
The local community in Padstow and Trevone have already taken on a number of Beach Cleans already this year with the Beach Guardian. Padstow Primary school are also involved and a number of the town’s businesses are moving in the right direction to eliminate its reliance on Single Use Plastics.
