Sean Woodcock MP constituency meeting

The Peoples Emergency Briefing events in June resulted in large numbers of residents getting in touch with our local MP Sean Woodcock asking him to support a televised National Emergency Briefing on climate and nature. Following on from the amount of correspondence Sean has received on this issue he has offered to hold an event to discuss this briefing with local residents. Sean will lead a discussion and Q&A session for constituents in Charlbury on Friday August 14th, 5pm-7pm.

This meeting with MP Sean Woodcock offers a fascinating and important opportunity to help shape what changes in approach and priorities the Labour Government might take on climate change and nature loss.

Due to parliamentary security advice we cannot publicise the venue in advance so please message me directly if you would like to register for the event and be advised of the venue.
