Norwich goes Green

Norwich City Council is the greenest in Britain, after the Green Party made dramatic gains in the local elections.

Labour are once again the city council's biggest party, but the limelight was stolen by the Greens who won their largest presence on a council in the country, increasing their presence on the authority from five to nine.

The Lib Dems surrendered six seats as their vote in the city ebbed away. City Hall now has 16 Labour councillors, 12 Lib Dems, nine Greens, and two Tories.

As some of us already noticed, but that's not to deny the worth of the breakthrough. Amidst the news of the BNP winning a few seats, the Green advance should not be overshadowed.
