Initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of the fair will include: No onsite car parking for visitors to the fair (with the exception of Blue Badge holders) to encourage sustainable travel to the fair – promoting walking, cycling, and public transport. The fair will also promote the council’s no single use plastic policy and encourage eco-friendly alternatives.
There will be a dedicated space at the fair promoting the work of the Climate Change Task and Finish group and they are appealing to local eco and sustainability groups to join the fair.
