EU “Question Time” at Danby – 10th June 2016
Moor Sustainable CIC are hosting an EU “Question Time” at which one of our group members, Andy Welford, will be speaking. Members of the group will also be attending the BBC Tees Question Time on the 16th June.
Friday 10th June 7.30 pm
Danby Village Hall, Dale End, Danby, Whitby, YO21 2LZ
How will the decision affect the future for the Esk Valley Community?
Hear the facts and put your questions to:-
- David Malone – film maker, author and former Scarborough and Whitby constituency candidate for the Green Party
- Sam Cross – County Councillor and former Scarborough and Whitby constituency candidate for UKIP
- Andy Welford – local dairy farmer and “Remain” supporter
- A speaker from the “Vote Leave” Campaign
Whatever the decision it will have significant effects on our lives, our community and our environment. From media reports so far in the campaign people want more facts but they are not necessarily hearing what they want to know. Moor Sustainable CIC has therefore decided to help our community to become better informed by giving you the opportunity to put questions to a panel at Danby Village Hall on Friday 10th June.
Moor Sustainable would like to have questions in advance so that they can choose a representative selection. Questions will be especially welcome on how the decision will directly affect us all in this area but it is up to you to decide what you would like to ask. They will try to let you know before the meeting (or if not at the door) if your question has been chosen.
Please send your question with your name via info@moorsustainable.org.uk by Wednesday 8th June.
Please pass on information about the meeting to your friends and neighbours.
Global Justice Now has produced a EU referendum briefing which you might find helpful when deciding which way to vote.

Growing power at Saltburn Farmers Market Saturday 9th April 2016
Make a plant pot and sow a seed.
Cleveland Global Justice Now group are having a stall at Saltburn Farmers Market on Saturday 9th April to raise awareness that the UK government support for agriculture in Africa, such as the New Alliance, is harming not supporting small-scale farmers.
The group are asking members of the public to write to their MP to ask the UK government to instead support agroecology, which enables small-scale farmers to build sustainable food system and keep control of their livelihoods.

Trip to Paris for the Climate Change talks
A group of us from Redcar and Cleveland travelled to Paris in December for a long weekend to take part in the protests at the end of the Climate Change talks. These were the 21st talks; they have taken place on an annual basis since 1995. The talks have had varying degrees of success but it was generally acknowledged that Paris would be very important if there is to be any chance of limiting the global temperature rise to 2°C.
