Who are we?
In August 2021, Aylsham Town Council declared a climate emergency looking towards achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030. The council formed a group – ACE (Aylsham Climate Emergency) and this community-led membership set up five sub-groups, each working towards a strategy to achieve this.
