Great job 4th Argyll Southend @scouts!

Great to see The London Fund growing and the possibility of other London LGPS funds joining in due course.

[London Pensions Fund Authority @LPFA1]

LPFA commits additional £50m to The London Fund as it makes its first investment. This comes as the Fund makes its debut investment in Delancey and Oxford Residential’s DOOR S.L.P. (“DOOR”) https://t.co/w3UgIqciNH

Our ESG bond framework will maintain the highest standards of transparency and reporting, delivering consistency to investors across local government green bond issuances should be a key goal for the sector. #GreenBonds #ESG. 2/2.

[UK Municipal Bonds @UKMunicipalBond]

We fully support @InvAssoc in their calls for strong reporting standards and issuance guidelines for the UK’s first #GreenGilts. 1/2 https://t.co/kkE1Vw4C70

[UK Municipal Bonds @UKMunicipalBond]

[UK Municipal Bonds @UKMunicipalBond]

Appetite for green/ESG-compliant investments has never been higher. Councils will shortly have the chance to seize the opportunity with the launch of our own ESG bond offering. Full details to follow soon. #ESG #GreenGilts #Localgovfinance

UK MBA Owned by Local Government for the benefit of Local Government

[UK Municipal Bonds @UKMunicipalBond]

In the face of one of the most challenging markets in living memory, local government desperately needs access to a diverse range of funding tools, to allow councils to provide vital local services. The UKMBA can help. Contact us here https://t.co/VvRwbZZQGk #localgov.

[Sir Merrick Cockell @Sir_MRC]

With strong demand from capital markets for verified ESG bonds and much of council’s local investment generating environmental and social benefit, there are good opportunities for tightly priced borrowing.

[UK Municipal Bonds @UKMunicipalBond]

Great to speak to @RI_News_Alert on our plans for the launch of an ESG bond for local councils – more info: https://t.co/f215qI10Wj

[Sir Merrick Cockell @Sir_MRC]

In other words trading below PWLB rates...

[UK Municipal Bonds @UKMunicipalBond]

High demand for our 40-year bond with @LancashireCC in the secondary market – with a GBP70k block traded at 68bp over the gilt. Favourable rates for councils aiming to raise funds through capital markets. Contact the UKMBA for more info https://t.co/VvRwbZZQGk #localgov

It’s great to see that you are living politics today rather than waiting till your 50s. Age is irrelevant, it’s commitment, integrity and believing in public service that matters...

[Lauren Bennie @Lauren_BennieUK]

Everyone can #AskHerToStand. 7 years ago @Sir_MRC asked me if I had plans to stand. I told him, “down the line, after a family, maybe in my fifties.”

I’ve come a long way since then. Sir Merrick planted the thought & has supported me all the way. Thank you.

But in your interview I told you that being CEX of Localis was all those combined. I’m gutted...
