SWM Green Leader Cllr Anthony Blagg was named the Sustainability Champion of the Year at the LGIU/CCLA Councillor Achievement Awards 2011 in London.
As a Member Sustainability Champion, Cllr Blagg of Worcestershire County Council has taken his role in championing sustainability extremely seriously; so-much-so that he has taken sustainability right up the agenda in the council.
His achievements are vast and include leading the council’s successful bid for Beacon Status on tackling climate change, the introduction of an energy efficiency spend to save fund and progressing recycling and pushing for the 8% reduction on corporate CO2 emissions from 2007 to 2009. Cllr Blagg works with a wide range of people and organisations on this agenda in order to fully embed sustainability in the council’s processes and beyond.
Cllr Blagg is someone that has taken the sustainability ethos into his own life as well as championing the cause in the council – it is this passion and his achievements that particularly impressed the judges.
