Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report which detailed the results of a survey into the travel habits of Members and officers.

The survey had been undertaken in the light of the requirement for the Council to reduce its carbon emissions and to measure performance against National Indicator 185.

The Executive Director – Partnerships and Projects reported that it was intended that the Council’s Climate Change Group would consider the survey in detail and would produce an action plan to address the issues raised in the report.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the results of the Travel Survey be noted;

(b)       that the targets for travel habits of Members and officers in connection with Council activities be noted; and

(c)        that performance and implementation against the targets be reported to and monitored by the Council’s Climate Change Group and that an interim progress report be submitted to the Cabinet after six months followed by a full review of progress in twelve months.
