It's budget day, and with a new Green-instituted process for laying budget motions, which promotes collaborative budget setting, and other parties taking on Green plans to fund the fight against climate change, Green influence is already evident
Greens have worked hard to craft a budget that faces up to the climate emergency; improves public and active travel; invests in our communities and tackles poverty, and funds this by raising funds from those who can afford it. Here is a summary...
Our budget puts tackling the climate and nature emergencies front and centre, with £7m funding for a range of measures
Planting more trees and taking better care of them are vital in tackling the climate and nature emergencies, so we are investing £1.3m to do so
Our proposed extra support for energy efficiency and heat network projects will tackle both the climate emergency as well as fuel poverty
Greens are proposing to fund public + active transport, including more bike hangars, free tram travel, restoring axed bus services, more dropped kerbs, cargo bikes + funding for the City Mobility Plan to drive forward improvements to walking, wheeling + cycling
Greens want to invest in the City Mobility Plan to drive forward work to improve walking, wheeling and cycling infrastructure
Bike hangars are amazingly popular, so we're pushing for an expansion of the scheme, funded by £1m extra funding
Social and environmental justice go hand-in-hand, so we are using our budget to both tackle climate change and poverty
Green proposals to tackle poverty include a £100 payment for lower income people
