Newcastle was the most sustainable of 20 cities, beating 2008 winner Bristol into second place. The index rates cities according to their performance in three broad areas: their impact on the environment, their citizens’ quality of life, and their readiness for future challenges. Hull came 20th in the Forum for the Future’s report.

This news comes out in the same week that Newcastle (full name Newcastle United Football Club) reached the top of their league (the Championship), let’s see if they are both still top in 2010?
