Powerful speeches were heard at a meeting of Milton Keynes Council on Wednesday night, as councillors united to pass a motion in support of the White Ribbon Campaign, which works to end male violence against women.
The motion passed unanimously, which means the Council will work to raise awareness on violence, harassment and abuse towards women and girls, while also working to make Milton Keynes a White Ribbon City.
The Labour/Lib Dem Progressive Alliance brought a successful motion to the Full Council last night, urging Milton Keynes South MP Iain Stewart to back the Local Electricity Bill.
If made law, the bill would allow local communities, businesses and organisations who generate their own renewable electricity to sell it to local people.
