ALT A picture of Green councillor Diana Moore standing outside the Riverside Leisure Centre in Exeter. There is a quote from her over the image: “It’s scandalous that the Labour-led council is throwing away a £6.5m grant which offered an opportunity to replace the old gas boilers with green energy solutions and insulation. This project would cut carbon emissions and reduce the running costs from two of the council’s biggest and most energy intensive assets.”

ALT A thumbnail image of Green councillor for Newtown & St Leonards Lynn Wetenall and washed out image of a bus lane. The quote reads: "The people of Exeter are fed up with poor bus services and deserve better. The Bus Improvement Plan is just the ticket to help deliver them. What is needed now from our local politicians is a genuine commitment to bus travel and strong political leadership.”
