So, someone had the bright idea to send Freedom of Information Act requests to councils in Greater Manchester, asking how many senior figures (politicians and bureaucrats) had undertaken the much-vaunted “Carbon Literacy” training, and how much money had been spent recently. Tameside’s answers are refreshingly clear, and free of the cant and equivocation of certain other councils which we won’t name (Manchester and Stockport).

And they had that nice event recently, so that’s alright then.
