2014 Local Elections: Your Candidates’ Views on Environmental Issues

On Thursday 22nd May, people across Greater Manchester have an opportunity to vote for the people who will be their local councillors.

The people elected as local councillors will become members of one of the ten Greater Manchester councils which will have to meet many social and environmental challenges during the next 10 years and beyond. These include rising energy costs, traffic congestion, ill health and rising obesity levels, poor air quality and the need to reduce C02 emissions.

We believe that voters in Greater Manchester should have information from the candidates seeking election on these key environmental issues. We have invited all the local election candidates to take part in a survey asking them for their views.

See the results so far. (Candidate responses are added as they come in.)
