YORK has made the top five in a leaderboard of the UK’s greenest cities.
The research, commissioned by Project Solar UK, was calculated using four categories - nature, transport, emissions and sustainability - to create an overall score.
London ranked first place as investment with £149,126 per million pounds of council budget dedicated to solar. The high ratio of green spaces per 10,000 of the population and availability of EV charging stations also contributed to its place at the top of the leaderboard.
Bristol came in second place as a city with the most EV charging points for drivers, a high percentage of household recycling, and investment in solar.
