Greening Islington

By Mark Pack | Tue 21st November 2006 - 10:12 am

Yesterday the BBC ran a TV story on how Lib Dems in Islington are greening the borough. All the Council offices, libraries, leisure facilities and streetlights now run off renewable electricity and Islington’s vehicle fleet is getting greener each year as vehicles are converted to run on electricity, LPG or biodiesel.

The planning rules have also been strengthened so as to promote energy efficiency, cycle parking, water saving and green roofs.

The latest initiative is wind turbines on Council offices.

You can watch the story on the BBC website.

Thanks Mark! I think this really shows that whereas other parties talk about action on green issues – the Liberal Democrats really do deliver.
