Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to the report on a recent assessment undertaken by the Energy Saving Trust relating to ways in which the Council could address the issue of climate change across the range of Council activities. It was accepted that this was an important issue although Members were mindful that officers also had to concentrate on the Council’s priorities.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the recommendations contained in the report from the Energy Savings Trust be received;

(b)       that officers be instructed to establish a project group, including the Portfolio Holder for Strategic Housing, to evaluate the recommendations contained in the report with a view to reporting at the end of the financial year on progress made; and

(c)        that the Portfolio Holder for Strategic Housing be designated as the lead Member for climate change.
