Green Councillors Conference

18th July 2007

Sheffield Green Councillors Jillian Creasy and Bernard Little will be talking about the Sheffield floods and the effects of climate change at the Association of Green Councillors' annual conference in London on 20 and 21st July. The Myers Grove/Wisewood issue and the party's policy of supporting local comprehensive schools will also be high on their agenda.

Cllr Bernard Little said. "This is a valuable opportunity to exchange best practice and ideas with the 110 Green Councillors in England. I am particularly looking forward to talking with London Assembly members Darren Johnson and Jenny Jones, who have had a huge impact on pushing energy conservation, green transport and crime reduction policies in London. They have shown how working together in a practical way where you can with other political parties has distinct benefits for the whole community. This is what the Greens in Sheffield are also doing."
