Gloucestershire Greens secure £400k funding for green projects

The four-strong Green group at Gloucestershire County Council secured amendments to the county council's budget for 2023/24 worth £400,000 this week. Gloucestershire County Council approved a £567 million budget for 2023/24 on Wednesday (February 15). The Green's amendments include a range of projects that will help the council meet its environmental commitments, support Gloucestershire communities and protect the natural landscape. Thanks to the Green Party councillors, an electric bike (or e-bike) hire scheme will roll out in locations across the county. The £150,000 scheme is expected to allow residents to trial e-bike ownership over a number of months, with the option to purchase the bike at a discount after the hire period. Studies have shown that those who trial an e-bike are significantly more likely to want one for the longer term, and to cycle more in the future.
