• 4 Dec 2024: Parliamentary Speech

  It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship today, Dame Siobhain. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for South Norfolk (Ben Goldsborough) for securing this timely debate. I commend him on the work that he has done since being elected to this House on key matters in this area. It is a timely debate for my constituency as there is a proposal for a mega-farm at Methwold in South West Norfolk. I and residents are concerned about a number of aspects, not least that intensive farming is contributing to biodiversity loss, as well to as climate change and air and water pollution. Very often such farming practices adversely affect people living nearby, especially because of the health hazard posed by ammonia pollution.

  I am proud to say that the British Trust for Ornithology headquarters is located in Thetford in my South West Norfolk constituency, and its scientific research and dedication are more important than ever before given the biodiversity loss, climate crisis and biosecurity challenges that we face as a country. That research is critical for our understanding.

  I pay tribute to Welney Flood Watch in my constituency. The team play a vital role, helping residents to know whether the A1101, which is appropriately named the Welney Wash Road, is passable. I was delighted to meet one of the volunteers, Ken, yesterday in Parliament. Without that intervention, residents often get caught out by the changing and unpredictable water levels in that area. That is a fine example of community spirit, but we cannot leave it solely to volunteers to fix the cracks that are so evident in the system and that will become more common because of climate change.

  A very interesting visit to #Thetford power station today operated by Melton Renewable Energy - a crucial part of local infrastructure supporting farmers with waste products, producing electricity and useable fertiliser. As MP I would engage with local businesses in SW #Norfolk https://twitter.com/CllrTerryJermy/status/1801294614369849623/photo/1 [Source]

  Amusing that Tories won’t agree to declare a climate emergency as they claim it’s ‘virtue signalling’ at the very meeting they are (correctly) displaying the Ukrainian flag from the main rostrum in the Council Chamber ????????‍♂️ - judge them by their actions they say [Source]

  My comments in @EDP24 today calling on the Chancellor to do more to tackle rising cost of gas & electricity and the impact on fuel poverty - more support for those on low incomes with improving insulation & micro energy production needed to tackle fuel poverty & climate emergency https://twitter.com/CllrTerryJermy/status/1504381185253855237/photo/1 [Source]

  Many thanks to Jake from @serauk for attending tonight’s South West #Norfolk @UKLabour Party meeting & giving a talk on all things environment & climate related.

  @Jemimasgarden @BreckCouncil declaring a climate emergency acknowledges that there is a problem. The Council will now produce a plan looking at what is can change to reduce its impact on the environment and lead by example to others. [Source]

  Delighted that the Breckland Labour Group motion to declare a climate emergency at @BreckCouncil today has been APPROVED. Well done Councillor Susie Dowling. Sad that it was not unanimous, with several Tories voting against, but progress nevertheless. [Source]
