Liberal Democrat Core Cities sign up to 10:10 campaign
Tue, 03 Nov 2009
Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg today announced at the Core Cities conference in Liverpool that every city in the group under Liberal Democrat control has signed up to the 10:10 campaign.
Bristol, Liverpool, Newcastle and Sheffield make up half the Core Cities group of England’s major regional cities.
The city regions represented by the city councils together have a population of over 5m, contain over 50,000 businesses and emit 40,406kt of carbon (or 7.8% of the UK total). The Liberal Democrat councils’ commitment therefore shows real leadership in these major cities.
Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg said:
“The message is clear: Liberal Democrat run cities are green cities.
“I am proud that every Core City controlled by the Liberal Democrats has signed up to the 10:10 campaign.
“Liberal Democrats run vast swathes of urban Britain and are taking the lead in combating climate change in Bristol, Sheffield, Liverpool and Newcastle.
“The Government shamefully ducked the opportunity to demonstrate leadership on this issue, so it has been left to Liberal Democrat councils to show the way.”
