Local MP, Lynne Featherstone and Lib Dem councillors were out in force last Saturday to help launch their Green Tax Switch Campaign. The proposals would see personal income tax reduced in favour of pollution taxes on aviation and large cars.
The Lib Dems were inviting Crouch Enders to sign up for the Green Tax Switch that would see families on average incomes up to £1,000 better off as well as a significant reduction in Carbon Dioxide emissions by changing people’s behaviour
Lynne Featherstone MP says:
“It was fantastic to meet so many local residents who were so enthusiastic about tackling climate change, even on a wet October morning.
“I voted for these tax changes and now I am promoting them locally because this is the biggest issue of our age. Week-in, week out, my inbox is full of letters and emails from residents in our area who desperately want firm action.
“This is a comprehensive package of measures that will have direct effect in reducing carbon dioxide emission and kerbing the behaviour that is making the situation worse.”
