County council officials have today accepted that the council needs to respond to Liberal Democrat demands to join the 10:10 environmental campaign.

Chris White commented: ‘We raised a question about this at the last council meeting and I guess we should be pleased that we got any reaction at all. But all we are getting at this stage is a promise of a report at the January meeting of the Environment and Planning Panel. The council frankly needs to get a move on. After all this is supposed to be a commitment to cut emissions by 10% in 2010.’
