Housing
Make it easy and affordable for everyone to insulate their homes.
Provide personalised information to every household about saving energy.
Provide zero interest loans so people can afford to install renewable energy.
Energy
Transport
Reduce car journeys.
Make cycling and walking easier and safer.
Implement a 20mph speed limit on residential roads.
Provide bus tickets that can be used on buses run by any bus company.
Promote free green driving lessons.
Wildlife
Adaptation We, the undersigned, support the measures outlined above and ask Leicester City Council to get serious about CO2.
