Candidate Name: Gareth Hardy – Liberal Democrats
Question Yes/No Additional Comments
Do you support an ambitious recycling plan for council collected waste that will allow the incinerator to close by 2034? Yes The Lib Dems have proposed motions and are strongly behind increasing recycling targets. One would hope we could hit a point where incineration is no longer necessary.
Do you support making sure climate change is at the heart of council decisions and spending, prioritising the implementation of the Route to Zero plan? Yes Route to Zero must be core to any decision making by local government
Would you be willing to take a carbon literacy course to supplement your understanding of urgent measures the council could take to reduce CO2 emissions? Yes
Do you support the implementation of the Birmingham Transport Plan that prioritises reliable and well coordinated public transport and increased facilities for active travel? Yes I encourage all those that can cycle, walk or use public transport to do so – schemes that support this should be encouraged
Will you support the council to be more ambitious in improving energy efficiency in council buildings and houses by having larger scale projects instead of smaller trials? Yes This sounds logical and should be explored.
