Carbon saving scheme

Regarding the SIC planning department’s grave concern with regard to carbon emissions, surely a better way of cutting car journeys and carbon emissions (AND saving the SIC money) would be to stop paying mileage allowance to all council officials and councillors.

Given the fact that fuel prices have dropped dramatically over the last couple of years (and continue to fall), surely travel allowances to SIC officers and councillors should be cut accordingly.

However, a more likely scenario is that a whole squadron of flying pigs will perform an aerobatic display above the Town Hall beneath a blue moon.
