Labour Welcomes Bridgwater Gigafactory

Bridgwater Town Council is a Labour controlled local authority and Climate Change is naturally a priority, with one of our 8 Portfolios dedicated to the subject.
The Climate Portfolio holder is Cllr Kathy Pearce, and the Town Council is forging ahead with a green agenda under her direction.
Cllr Morgan was a valued member of our Climate Team and will be missed now as he chooses to be in opposition. His place will now be taken by Cllr Liz Leavy.
Similarly, we had only recently made him the Portfolio Holder for Transport, again a crucial role in the Climate struggle, but this post will now go to a member of the ruling Labour Group, in this case Cllr Dave Loveridge.
Whilst we share Cllr Morgan’s passion regarding the climate emergency and the need to act urgently, we feel that by working as a team to achieve our goals we are stronger together and that only a Labour election victory will ensure that the climate is put at the top of the government’s priority. We are on the cusp of the election of a Labour Government and as Sharon Graham the Leader of Unite the Union said now is not the time to walk away from Labour. It is also important for Labour to maintain control at local level, so we intend to regroup and continue to deliver the manifesto that we were elected on last year.”
