A step forward for Wells’ environment and climate resilience was taken by Wells City Council in June when it voted to adopt the Wells Act to Adapt Plan.
Funded by Somerset Rivers Authority, the Plan was guided through a public consultation between October 2024 and May 2025 by Somerset Wildlife Trust and sets out the strategies for Wells City Council, voluntary organisations, businesses and individuals across 4 key themes:
- Improving and increasing green spaces
- Adapting to flooding
- Encouraging community-driven climate action
- Co-ordinating emergency plans
The plan will be formally launched at Wells Eco Week on Saturday, 11 October 2025.
At a public meeting on 14 June 2025, Wells City Council was congratulated by Tessa Munt, MP for Wells, for achieving this milestone and making the plan a reality. Whilst it will involve hard work and commitment by all organisations and the public, she said it would provide strategies to work on and wished every success to Wells City Council, organisations and the public.
