Row over bid to stop Greater Manchester pension fund investing in fossil fuel industries
Green councillors have failed in a bid to get Trafford Coincil to request Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF) withdraw its investments from fossil fuel industries - known as ‘divestment’. The Labour-controlled authority voted down a motion by Coun Geraldine Coggins calling on the trustees of the GMPF to ‘stop pumping money into the dirtiest industries in history’.
