Europe looks to Norwich for green inspiration - by DOMINIC CHESSUM

The city's environmental credentials have been lauded throughout the UK for some time but now countries across Europe are looking to Norwich for green inspiration.

Norwich boasts more green councillors than anywhere else in the UK and has a plethora of environmental campaign groups including direct action group Rising Tide and Norwich Friends of the Earth. Adrian Ramsay, leader of the Green Party in Norwich was one of those interviewed. He said: "Norwich is also good in terms of campaigning on environmental issues and in terms of quality of life but there are also areas where there is a long way to go. We need to improve recycling facilities, which the council has agreed to do, and we need to require housing developers to build more energy efficient housing."
