AI-Generated Summary
Labour councillors support the extension of Heysham nuclear reactors while Greens criticise the decision as irresponsible during a council vote.
Labour and Green councillors have clashed over the extension of the generating lives of two ageing nuclear reactors.
Labour councillor Phillip Black, the former Lancaster City Council leader, proposed welcoming the news about extending Heysham 1's and Heysham 2's use to 2027 and 2030.
However, the Greens called the motion deeply irresponsible and said the council should be questioning the decision rather than supporting it.
The council, which sees no party with overall control, voted to support Mr Black's motion.
