Local campaigner and Lib Dem environment spokesman, Cllr Howard Marshall, said “Wiltshire has a beautiful environment, and we must protect it. The council has a poor record on fighting climate change. Between 2005 and 2007 Wiltshire emissions shot up whilst the South West as a whole made big reductions in its carbon footprint. The council are dragging their heels.
Cllr Marshall continued “These enormous fines will only increase year-on-year. We need to take action now for new green jobs in Wiltshire, and to protect our environment for future generations.”
“Wiltshire Lib Dems have produced a fully costed, easy to understand budget which shows that the council can help the local environment and save money at the same time, for instance, through better recycling collections.”
