The past twelve months have seen enormous progress to a greener,cleaner Manchester. A Climate Change Action plan that commits the city to a 41% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, a plan only possible because of Manchester labour's willingness to work with the whole range of stakeholders, environmental activists,academics, the private sector, communities, on this vital issue.
We now recycle more and more materials, the most recent addition being food waste, with collections arranged in ways to suit our residents.
we are building the first new Council Housing in the city for over twenty years, designed to the highest environmental standards, and it looks good too.
Money was made available immediately to tackle the damage done to our roads by the severe winter.
We yet again increased the number of Green Flag parks, with more than any other local authority area in the country.
We have taken more action to tackle fly-tipping, graffitti, and are working hard to keep our streets clean. Manchester Labour will build on this.
* We promise to do our utmost to reduce the City Council's CO2 emissions by 10% in 2010
