Boroughs’ ideas to save the planet bring rewards

23 January 2007

Borough transport schemes to cut carbon emissions were among the innovative projects to attract Transport for London funding for 2007/08.
Islington council gained £50,000 for the introduction of on-street charging points for electric vehicles at key locations across the borough as part of its measures to reduce carbon emissions locally by 20% by 2010.
Waltham Forest, meanwhile, received £35,000 to enable it to install a wind turbine at a council depot to produce renewable energy to power the borough’s electric vehicle fleet. A further £20,000 was awarded to Brent to allow the authority to undertake research into the potential use of bio-diesel in authority vehicles, while Westminster got £20,000 to encourage the use of electric scooters and bicycles in the borough.
Mayor Ken Livingstone claimed his £160M of investment would help make the millions of daily journeys made in the capital ‘safer, cleaner and greener’.
