Green County Councillor Chris Coates has called for ‘Green Jobs’ to be a priority for Lancashire. The call came as North Lancashire Green Party launched a report on what a Green New Deal for the County could look like.
The report includes suggestions for a County wide Green Skills Network, help to improve energy efficiency in the areas housing stock and help for those in fuel poverty as well as measures to support local business.
The local report is based on the national document published last year by the New Economic Foundation.
British Energy – under their new French owners EDF – held a PR exercise on Tues 10th March at the Platform in Morecambe. A mix of pro and anti-nuclear members of the small audience asked questions of a panel of ‘nuclear experts’ following a presentation of the proposals for a third reactor to be built at Heysham.
Green Councillors have sent in their submissions to the Public Inquiry into the Centros development. Cllr Chris Coates said ” With shops closing in the City almost every week it is even more important that this massive shopping development is defeated.”
