Let us have more green mayors!

Both Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot county boroughs own (or lease) Ford Mondeos as mayoral transports. One can understand this support for a company which had a branch factory in the area, but with Ford's departure from Bridgend, local councils no longer owe them anything. Surely the time has come for our local authorities to make a significant gesture towards a low-carbon future by switching to a hydrogen-powered limousine, an all-electric one or at least a hybrid, as Swindon has done. 

Neath Port Talbot has dipped its toe in the water by adding a couple of electric Renault Zoes to its car pool, so the recharging facility is already there.
