As Norfolk County Council’s Cabinet meets to consider radical plans to cut the organisation’s carbon emissions by 25,000 tonnes by 2013, Trevor Ivory has praised the Conservative run council for taking the lead on an issue that affects Norfolk more than many other places.
“As we read about the Government’s latest proposals to abandon large parts of our community to the sea, it is refreshing to hear Norfolk County Council talking about how to avoid climate change rather than giving in and abandoning us to its consequences,” said Mr Ivory.
“The County Council’s proposals will not only reduce their own emissions by almost a third by 2013, but it will also save council taxpayers across Norfolk millions of pounds every single year.”
