Plymouth City Council

Plymouth City Council has pledged to ban single-use plastics ahead of the European deadline of 2021. The council is working with partners to implement a ban in the city by 2020, starting with a voluntary code of conduct. All the council’s buildings will go single-use plastic free by September 2019, and all events on Plymouth City Council land will be required to show how single-use plastic will be eliminated, replaced by alternatives, or at the very least, reduced to an absolute minimum. A ‘Plan for Plastics’ is being produced to eliminate plastic from the natural environment. This is a truly citywide collaboration of businesses, education organisations, research establishments and communities.

The LGA Labour Group exists to fight the corner for Labour councillors at a national level, both within
the cross-party Local Government Association and with the Labour Party at Westminster. The Group provide a strong voice for Labour councillors and act as a platform for ideas and innovation for all those committed to an effective localist element to Labour politics and policies.
