Go green boss Martin Heatley's £8,500 expenses claim
May 19, 2009
A Council's ‘Go Green' boss has come under fire for clocking up thousands of pounds in mileage – in his gas guzzling 4x4.
Martin Heatley, who is Warwickshire County Council's environmental leader, has racked up more mileage expenses than any other councillor at the authority.
The Tory councillor drives to meetings in Warwick from his Nuneaton home in his Toyota Land Cruiser.
Last year, he claimed more than £8,500, which included driving almost 10,000 miles.
Green campaigner Keith Kondakor said: "It shows a total lack of commitment to going green."
Coun Heatley defended himself, saying it wasn't possible to "go green overnight".
