Green Councillors campaign for plastic free City

Green councillors are set to urge the local authority to take action on plastic, by encouraging traders, residents and businesses to use more sustainable alternatives to plastic bottles, cups and straws.

More than 56 venues in the city have already signed up to the ‘plastic-free pledge’ in a bid to phase out the use of plastics.

Green councillors will put forward a notice of motion to the Full Council on Thursday, November 2, asking Brighton and Hove City Council to become a full signatory of the plastic-free pledge.

And we spoke to Councillor Phelim Maccafferty about this issue.
