Report of the Cabinet Member Climate Emergency

RESOLVED THAT:

1.    Council be recommended to approve the Heating and Energy Policy included in Appendix 4;

2.    Responsibility for monitoring the implementation of the Policy be delegated to the Director of Climate Change, in consultation with the Director of Finance and Assets (Deputy S151 Officer).

The Cabinet Member Climate Emergency introduced the report, highlighting two important aspects of the new policy. The first was the climate decision wheel, which was a fantastic new tool developed in conjunction with officers at West Oxfordshire District Council, and would have a significant impact on how decisions were made in the future.  The other aspect was energy usage at key sites across Cheltenham, which was a broad first step in the right direction. It was important and necessary to consider the council’s energy use at a time when every household was doing the same. She thanked Alex Wells and the property team for their work on the report.

The Leader moved to the vote, where it was unanimously:

RESOLVED THAT:

1.    Council be recommended to approve the Heating and Energy Policy included in Appendix 4;

2.    Responsibility for monitoring the implementation of the Policy be delegated to the Director of Climate Change, in consultation with the Director of Finance and Assets (Deputy S151 Officer).
