Despite a really difficult financial outlook & govt reneging on their pledge I'm proud @LambethLabour cabinet tonight agreed @lambeth_council's capital investment plan for next five years. It includes around £90m in measures aimed at tackling the climate crisis 
...


Emissions from transport make up 1/4 of Lambeth's total emissions & access to transport is hugely unequal

We are investing over £40m to support people switching to active travel
building more safe
&
infra
more LTNs
huge roll-out of
storage on our housing estates









Millions more set aside for:
electrifying our fleet inc. waste trucks
greening & sust. drainage to keep us cool, clean up our air & protect us from flooding 
decarbonising energy, boosting renewables and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels
measures to
recycling






Local govt £ situation was bleak before COVID-19 after a decade of austerity. Despite this @LambethLabour are building a Lambeth fit to face the huge challenges of the 21st century, protecting & supporting those most at risk & taking the lead in tackling the climate crisis
