Your local Liberal Democrats in Birmingham are continuing to push the City Council to do more to help the environment, with a series of new plans backed by Lib Dem campaigners. 

Birmingham has been chosen to lead a pilot project to get more people driving low-carbon cars, and has also expanded its City centre combined heat and power scheme. The scheme, developed with Lib Dem support, will see several areas of the city getting cheaper and greener energy.  

Birmingham’s Lib Dems have also supported the recent Friends of the Earth Climate Change rally in London. The event, called The Wave, which was designed to highlight the risks of climate change, saw 50,000 people come together across the country to march in The Wave, the biggest ever climate change march in the UK.

The Liberal Democrats were out in force throughout the UK. In London, speeches from Nick Clegg, Simon Hughes and Susan Kramer roused the crowds before the march set off.


“Green issues matter to us all” said local campaigner Jerry Evans “and it’s the Lib Dems, both here in Birmingham and nationally, who are getting real action for the environment.”
