The New Year brings a new opportunity to address environment and energy issues – but what can we expect from 2023? Join us at the Environment and Energy Network online Tuesday 24 February, 1pm – 2.30pm to find out.

We will be joined by Sue Brookin, Partnership Support Officer, West Midlands Fire Service who will be sharing information on the Fire Service, including on the impact of winter warmth and cost of living pressures on fire safety in the home.

We will also be having our usual updates on energy bills, policy, funding, consultations and more.
