MCFly 035- 3 out of 10:10

Manchester City Council signed up to the 10:10 (to reduce its emissions by 10% by the end of 2010) at a full Council meeting on Weds Oct 7 (we blogged that- do pay attention at the back there!). But here's a scoop, straight from the mouth of Stockport's Exec Member for the Environment (Stuart Bodsworth)- our friends in the near south will ALSO be signing up. And what's this? Our spies in Bury tell us that the Lib Dem Group has tabled a motion to the next full meeting of Bury Council (28/10) calling on the Council to sign up to the 10:10 pledge. They “hope this will receive all party support and as such kick start the Council's commitment to CO2 reduction.” So, only Salford, Tameside, Trafford, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham and Wigan to go. Easy peasy! MCFly will keep you informed...

Meanwhile, Central and Eastern Cheshire PCT have signed up to the 10:10 campaign. Has Central Manchester, or UHSM? Or any other Manchester NHS trust? We will try to find out...
