Greening Bridport Town Council

9th November 2006 - Martin Ray

Lib Dems on the Town Council will ask the new Environment Committee to investigate “Greening Town Council Buildings” Cllr Karl Wallace said “We should consider using grey water, solar power wind energy and biomass fuels.”

Your ideas from the Focus suggestions box:

  • From St Katherine’s Avenue: bins at supermarkets for spent batteries as in Germany and France. Focus member Jayne Bryant has written to supermarkets to ask if they will do this. Sainsbury’s have replied already saying they will soon provide freepost envelopes for battery recycling.
  • From St Michael’s Lane: “How can I get my (paper) office trade waste recycled rather than go into landfill?” The Council told Cllr Martin Ray that a pilot project has started in Sherborne and if successful will be introduced throughout the district.
