Marlow Town Council have launched a new plan to make the town the most environmentally sustainable place in the Thames Valley.

The #SustainableMarlow project will include enhancements to the council’s environmental policy, which will commit MTC (Marlow Town Council) to comply with all environmental legislation and environmental performance improvements on a regular basis.

Chair of the environmental advisory group and leader of Marlow Town Council, Jocelyn Towns, said: “As a council, we have always been committed to protecting the environment.

“Now we feel it’s time to take our efforts to a new level.

“By launching #SustainableMarlow, we aim to set our ambitions high and deliver a series of projects that protect the environment, tackle climate change whilst supporting residents and businesses.”

Marlow Town Council revealed that the first of their new projects will be launched in the coming weeks.

They will include promoting greener transport, reducing plastic waste, decreasing air pollution, creating an environmental performance index and working with local schools and businesses.

The #SustainableMarlow initiative by Marlow Town Council is to try and make Marlow the one ofthe most attractive, vibrant and environmentally friendly towns in the whole of Britain.

MTC are also encouraging residents in and around the surrounding areas to submit their ideas as part of the initiative.
