Lib Dem plan for Borough Council to reduce carbon footprint

Liberal Democrats have called on Chelmsford Borough Council to take real steps to reduce their carbon footprint. In a motion presented to Council on Wednesday 20th February, Cllr. Andrew Sosin called for all new Borough Council buildings to be carbon neutral in terms of how they are built & how energy would be produced and consumed within the buildings. The motion also called for any significant changes to current buildings to aim to substantially reduce the carbon footprint of that building.

Speed measures sought for Dovedale Road in Springvale Ward

Lib Dem Cllr for Springvale Ward, Richard Whitehouse, is a member of Wolverhampton's Road Safety Panel and has requested that a trial 9 week programme to help cut road speeds be done on Dovedale Road. In the first week this will involve using tubes across the road to measure traffic speeds. Then there will be an introduction of speed slow signs on lampposts and a flashing speed monitoring sign for a few weeks. After that the police will be doing speed checks, with prosecutions, for two weeks. Finally, the tubes will be put across the road again to measure whether there has been any impact on average speeds. Richard said, "This is a problem that affects many residents on and around Ettingshall Park and if, in the next few months when this programme is initiated, speeds are reduced then it can only be of benefit to the residents and pedestrians."
