I will not name the projects but town halls across the country fill night after night with middle-class communities, not marginalised communities. Ms Clancy's network represents them as well. It represents 18,000 voluntary groups. Many of them are utterly resistant. I 100% take the point that the way we do consultation as a State is not fit for purpose and we have to rethink that and become more creative. We have to look at that cohort as well. Climate change will impact every community and climate action has to impact every community. People will have to understand that changes will have to be made to their communities that are for the greater good and for future generations.
