CARBON REDUCTION FUNDS

Early day motion 2132, tabled 21 October 2009 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 58 members.

That this House agrees that in order to prevent further climate-related catastrophies, radical action is required at global and local levels; understands that one step towards achieving this goal would be the involvement of local authorities in reducing carbon dioxide emissions via the introduction of measures to reduce local road traffic in their areas; and calls on the Government to help local authorities towards these endeavours by providing sufficient finance to establish a Carbon Reduction Fund for local authorities to use to improve public transport, encourage and make it safer for people to walk and cycle in or around their communities.

Signatures by party: Labour 42, Liberal Democrat 11, Independent 2, Independent Labour 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
