Jobs and Growth in a Clean Energy Era - How Cities Can Lead
Together with UK100, SERA hosted a fringe event at this year's Labour Local Government Conference, looking at the work that Labour authorities are already doing to create green jobs and growth via investment in clean energy. We were joined by a fantastic panel:
Cllr Judith Blake, Leader of Leeds City Council
Cllr Helen Holland, Cabinet Member for Place, Bristol City Council
Cllr Sue Jeffrey, Labour’s candidate for Tees Valley Metro-Mayor & Leader of Redcar and Cleveland Council
Cllr James Noakes, Liverpool City Council lead on Energy and Smart City
We've put together a Twitter collection from the event showcasing some of the biggest topics of the event.
You can also read some thoughts about the conference from our Organiser, Adam here.
