Plastic Bag Free Zone - Chorlton Leads the Way

I have successfully lobbied the Council to have Chorlton made a pilot for a “plastic bag free zone”. The Council are working with local businesses to promote reusable bags and have held a competition asking residents to design a Chorlton bag for life. Residents are being asked to pledge not to use plastic bags.

I am also campaigning to have kerbside recycling extended to include cardboard and plastics.

Here I am with Councillor Val Stevens and Glenys from Beech Road's popular shop, Creative Recycling.
