Liberal Party Election Manifesto Statement - Saving the Environment

[ReadingLib]

New estates and buildings being built should have to include solar panels where viable as part of the planning process.

Greater rigour should be placed to prevent natural flood plains being built on and better utilisation of brown field sites.

We would look to short term, zero carbon nuclear schemes to cover the green energy transition but remain committed to the long-term phasing out of the use of our current nuclear technology  and support the continued research and development of nuclear fusion.

The privatisation of water companies has been a disaster with profits being sent abroad and our rivers being polluted.

We need to divert more traffic on our rail networks, but often local connections are missing many communities.

A strong devolution package with emphasis on rural communities should provide investment into local networks.

We need a major push on public education on the need for recycling.
