Minutes:

Cabinet received a report of the Energy and Renewal Surveyor which set out the first phase of the Sustainability Strategy, providing a roadmap towards the council’s ambition to become carbon neutral for emissions generated within the borough that fell within the local authority’s influence.  It was noted that the strategy had been presented to the Sustainability Forum on 24 February 2020.

 

Councillor Williams, at the invitation of the Mayor, provided details of the report.  He thanked officers for their work on developing the new strategy.  80 projects were listed in the strategy.  However, he cautioned that councils needed to receive appropriate government financing in order to support this ambitious aim.

 

The Energy and Housing Renewal Surveyor advised that the full programme would extend to 2030.  The document before Cabinet was the first part of the strategy, working towards the council’s ambition.
