Bio on James Mallinder:

James is the   Deben ward member at East Suffolk and hold the role of Cabinet Member for the Environment.

It is important to link East Suffolk into other interested parties, so I am board member for the Suffolk Waste Partnership, The Suffolk Local Access Forum, Green Print Forum steering committee and Coastal Partnership East. As personal interest and synergy I also put my name forward to be vice chair of the joint advisory committee for Suffolk Coast Heaths and Dedham Vale AONB which I was duly elected.

James is also the Chairman of the Council’s Environmental Task Group which was established in July 2019 when we declared a climate emergency. The Task Group meets quarterly to consider and action what can be done to meet the Council’s challenging target of becoming carbon neutral by 2030 and making sure environment considerations are threaded throughout our policy and decision processes.

James is also a member of the CEN (Conservative Environment Network), a wider forum that supports conservation and decarbonisation.
