Andrew Turner did and I hope he encourages our Council likewise. It’s a pity Geoff Lumleys Labour colleagues in Parliament didn’t support the 10:10 debate.I’m very pleased our M.P.

'10:10' is an excellent idea. We'll only make it to the cuts of 80% or more we need by starting with a smaller cut first. I agree with Steephill Jack about the extra school buses. What we need are small local schools. And renewable energy... But there's plenty the Council could do right away. One example - turn down the thermostats at County Hall in the winter. Sick people in hospitals may need to be above 20 degrees Celsius, but everybody else can keep it down between 16 and 20 degrees. If people are going around in winter just in shirts or blouses with no jumpers, it's too hot! Well done Geoff Lumley (again!).

Some areas were working in this way prior to the 2005 election and a plan existed to spead it out across the Council. That was quietly lost. There are still far too many meetings which are overlong and make no progress.

That will add a few % to emissions nevermind reducing it. And then there will be all those extra buses taking kids to and from their big, distant secondary schools.
