It seems sensible to follow on from transport policy, covered yesterday, to the environment. As a relatively recent transplant into the county, one of the things that I really value is our natural and built environment, and we need to ensure that we do all that we can to protect it.
More and better focused environmental action
Liberal Democrats will save money and cut greenhouse gas emissions by:
- cutting non-essential County business mileage
- promoting LED lighting, insulation and natural source heating in domestic housing, County and commercial buildings
- encouraging use of the waste heat output from the Great Blakenham incinerator for district heating
- introduce a weekly kitchen waste collection service
I do have some doubts about the incinerator at Great Blakenham. However, we're committed now, so we have to make the best of it.
I'm also aware that there are parishes who are struggling with the costs of replacing old street lights with new, lower-cost LED lighting, and I would want to find ways of supporting them as they do so.
