Last week’s Richmond Borough Council Meeting to agree the Budget saw the Liberal Democrat and Green Party, who have an electoral pact in Richmond and Twickenham, vote down an amendment put forward by the Conservative Group which would have increased spending on actions to address Climate Change by £1.5m. Meanwhile the Green Group put forward no suggested increase in climate change spending despite acknowledging that the Climate Change Action Plan was largely un-costed, with no way of knowing whether sufficient funding has been allocated.
