North Lincolnshire Council’s ‘A Green Future’ reaches national audience 

North Lincolnshire Council’s plans for a greener future has reached a national audience following a UK conference with leading government figures. 

The ambitious A Green Future policy has received national recognition after being proposed at a UK conference which included politicians and senior local government figures. 

The council said the positive reception is a “top level endorsement” for the green policy, which highlighted aims to go carbon neutral by 2030. 

In a statement, the council said the Green Future policy formed part of a presentation at a regional Leader Board and Chief Executives Zero Carbon event which saw almost 2,000 people attend. 

“This year conference attendees included MPs Rishi Sunak, Michael Gove, Nadhim Zahawi and Lisa Nandy as well as Liberal Democrat Leader Sir Ed Davey,” the council added. 

Green futures Programme Director Nolan Bennett explained to audience members North Lincolnshire Council’s pledges to leave the environment in a “better state than we find it.” 

Cllr David Rose, Cabinet Member for Environment, said: 

“A Green Future is at the heart of everything we do as a council, and we want to make North Lincolnshire a greener, cleaner, healthier, more sustainable place to live and work.  

“The council is working to achieve net zero by 2030. We are already moving to a green fleet of vehicles, installing EV chargers in our car parks and solar panels on our schools. Much more is to come.  

“It is encouraging that we are spreading the word about our ambitious plans to other councils across the country. Together we can take ownership of the environment and achieve real, positive change.”  

“Look out for our new Green Pledge campaign, launching soon, which encourages everyone to take action to achieve A Green Future – this can be something as simple as recycling plastic or taking fewer car journeys,” added the council.
