- How councils can use the green agenda to generate renewable energy and cash
Got this article published on the Guardian's website today on the back of the debate I took part in last week.
With latest ONS figures showing more than 132,000 jobs were lost from the public sector last year and councils grappling with unprecedented budget cuts, green issues are in danger of slipping down the priority list. But in my view, it would be an economic error for local authorities to take their eyes off the environmental ball now.
