A new Climate Emergency petition has been started for Brent. What I find odd about this is that it seems to take little notice of Brent's existing policies. These have already seen Brent cut its carbon emissions by about 40%. The authors sound as if they are unaware of Brent's numerous planning and transport policies to reduce emissions, or the move to reduce emissions through better street lighting, or Brent's Energy Plan, or the work in schools, or the work on waste processing. An idea of the sheer range of things that Brent Council is simultaneously supporting can be found in the Brent Civic Centre project (at the time of opening said to be the greenest building in Europe).
Have the people behind this petition only just woken up to the climate change issue?
