Recent WBGE Events
Dr Larch Maxey of Just Stop Oil at The Kersey Room, Waterside Youth and Community Centre, Waldegrave Place, Northcroft Street, Newbury, RG14 1DS on Tuesday, 22nd February 2022, 7.30pm - 9.30 pm.
WBGE held a discussion evening on 2nd February 2022 on the issue of fuel prices and the removal of the comsumer price cap.
An open discussion evening was held on 24th November 2021. Much of the discussion was about COP26 and whether it had been successful. Professor Sir Brian Hoskins commented that the UK government lacked the policies to deliver its carbon budget commitments. He has since followed up by providing a link to a presentation that he had given to The Berkshire Association of Local Councils (BALC) the previous week.
