Low Carbon Hub – glitzy website, shame about the, um, information #Manchester #epicfail #climate

Oooh look, another shiny new website, with lots of articles about just how fabulously everything is going in Manchester around sustainability. Just what we need.

Had any MCFly reader heard of “ontheplatform” (since this piece on MCFly in March?). If so, they kept it quiet.

There’s dozens of articles (I read a few; they’re the kind that make your eyes glaze and roll simultaneously).

Check out this screen grab. It’s a promise to keep us informed…

Spoiled by some inconvenient facts. Besides the little one that the Low Carbon Hub is meeting behind closed doors (unlike its predecessor, the Environment Commission), they haven’t even bothered to put the papers for this Friday’s meeting up. This screengrab below, taken ten minutes ago, is of where on the AGMA website you should be able to see what is going to be discussed.

Quite a commitment to transparency (and it’s by no means the first time papers haven’t gone up the promised 5 working days in advance.)

You have to laugh, or else you’d cry.
