Good wood for Brighton and Hove

7:00am Thursday 21st February 2013 in News

Town hall bosses have signed a pledge to set the highest standard when buying wood.

By backing the WWF What Wood You Choose? campaign, Brighton and Hove City Council will ensure that all timber products it buys, from doors to paper, do not come from illegal sources.

The local authority was recently one of only 16 of 443 councils to get the highest score on a national survey about timber procurement policies.

Glad to hear it. Now when are they going to sign the pledge to put residents before ideology?

Well it's a shame it wasn't in place when the wooden tops KitKat and Davey got into power.
It's more MDF than oak.

MFI would not have used Davey or Kitkat for brains.
Yet again more paperwork and empty rhetoric costing us money.
I stated this lot were worse than Militant Tendency and Richard Stanton and this just proves it.
Nuclear Free Zone anyone????

Shame they don't care about Brighton trees, they are chopping them down again in wild park and putting in more fencing

why was the tree chopped down in Hartington road, and why were there men chain sawing it up mid evening?

I presume whoever wrote the headline knew the other meaning of "good wood".

I confess I'm a roller coaster fan. It's the RCCGB's catchphrase.

Now I am totally lost. But seeing as this is confession time, roller coasting is one thing I do not agree with you on Sara Booker Lewis ;-)

It's only a pledge, the reality may be very different. Clearly this is high on the agenda of BHCC over many other 'lesser' subjects.

Oh they will be ... these are doors the council members will be walking through and desks they will be sitting at. They don't eat the meals in a school canteen ...
