Charlotte Ibbotson has asked the Executive Member for Climate Emergency the following question:
Question
You have voted for the Climate Change Plan, proving that you understand the disastrous consequences climate change is going to result in. This is a good first step, but it is only a first step. You have highlighted this already, following discussions from the Council meeting on the 23rd January. It is clear that there are some major flaws to the plan such as sums of money being spent on road construction and other questionable actions the Council is hoping to take that will inevitably result in CO2 emissions rising and sustainability being postponed. Why is money towards road construction in the Climate Emergency Plan?
