On 17 September 2020, the parish council declared a climate emergency in Menheniot, and is leading a group of active and engaged residents to create an action plan. If you’d like to be part of the group, please email the Clerk’s Office with your preferred method of contact (email, social media, telephone) and the first line of your postcode.
