Greens welcome Citizens Assembly on Climate Change
24th April 2019
Oxford City Council gets enthusiastically behind Green Party Climate Emergency motion to become first Council to announce a 'Citizen's Assembly' on climate change. Yesterday, Oxford City Council announced that it will honour a Green Party motion (proposed by Green Cllr Craig Simmons and seconded by Green Cllr Dick Wolff) passed by Council on 28th January 2019 [1] and establish a Citizens Assembly on the climate emergency.
Says Cllr Craig Simmons; "Getting citizens on-board is an important part of tackling the climate crisis. However, it is only one element of a comprehensive plan to address the climate emergency. The Council needs to look long and hard at its own decision-making and set a good example, At the moment, it isnt."
The Greens have previously criticised the City Council for investing more than £5m in car park expansion and its failure to insist on zero carbon housing in its new local plan.
