Greening Islington: the difference the Lib Dems are making

Yesterday the BBC ran a TV story on how the Liberal Democrats in Islington, where the party runs the council, 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.
