Lewes District Council has signed up for the 10:10 climate change campaign. The council has joined a number of other local authorities, private businesses and government departments in pledging to reduce its carbon emissions by 10% in 2010. Eddie Collict, cabinet member for environment, said: ‘We are at the point now where substantial change is required, if we are all to take a part in reducing yet further carbon dioxide emissions. We recognise that leadership is an important part of any campaign'.
