CLIMATE Action Frodsham is urging local people to make the most of the election campaign by alerting all political parties to the urgent need to consider climate change and to take the necessary action.
They have provided a list of questions that could be used if a doorstep canvasser calls on you:
1. If elected, what measures will you take to ensure that all households meet insulation standards?
2. If elected, when will your Government pass legislation introducing minimum building standards for all new housing?
3. What measures will your Government take to ensure that the delayed 2030 climate targets are progressed before 2029?
4. How is your party planning to invest in the Green economy?
5. What support will your party offer to encourage people to move away from diesel and petrol cars, including increasing the public transport on offer?
6. What is your position on global warming?
The questions were drawn up by Climate Action Frodsham supporter Fiona Barry who lives locally and is a National Climate Ambassador for the WI. She asked some local Climate Ambassadors to help devise the questions.
Another question, Climate Action Frodsham suggests is: –
7. What can you do to make this constituency more environmentally friendly and sustainable?
The group also reminds local people of the need to have a photo ID when voting in the election.
Passports, driving licences, blue badges and bus passes are acceptable at polling stations or you can apply for a Voter authority Certificate.

You will need to provide a photo, however.
