Liberal Democrats plan green firms' rebate
Speaking at a joint press event with Greenpeace Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said that companies that "green" their premises with energy-saving improvements should be offered a rebate or reduced bill. He said that he could see the "green" business rate working in the same way as some councils give rebates to families who insulate their homes. "We have to make things easier for companies that want to do the right thing," Said Mr Clegg. "The challenge of meeting Britain's energy needs was a choice between old technologies like gas, nuclear and coal, and "a green future" based on clean technologies."

Horton Chapel - decision further delayed
Work on finding a user for Horton Chapel has been held up. The borough council's legal staff had to be diverted to deal with two problems created by the county council. First they withdrew support for the Children's Centre and Day Nursery in Hollymoor Lane. Then they delayed a decision on the future of the Mansion in Nonsuch Park for over 15 months, resulting in a lot of extra work. It is now hoped to invite tenders from interested parties later this year.
