‘Lib Dem Success as Climate Change Motion Passed’
Local Liberal Democrats have expressed their delight after Councillors backed their plans to put climate change awareness at the heart of the Council’s agenda.
The successful motion calls for a series of initiatives aimed at ‘greening’ Waltham Forest, including a borough-wide campaign to bring about a voluntary ban on free plastic shopping bags.
Your local Lib Dem councillors rejected a Labour amendment to the motion that removed our proposal for a ‘Climate Change Impact Assessment’ to be included in all reports produced for Council. The ‘Climate Change Impact Assessment’ will make environmental considerations central to the work of the Council.
LOCAL COUNCILLOR Bob Belam FOCUS TEAM MEMBER said:
“Waltham Forest residents are already playing their part through the excellent uptake of waste recycling.
These simple but effective measures will make the way the Council works cheaper and more environmentally friendly”.
