To endorse the Council’s approach to the climate change agenda to date

The Committee gave consideration to a report on the Council’s approach to the climate change agenda, which included a comprehensive Climate Change and Sustainable Development Strategy being developed for Cheshire East, one of the components of which would be the production of a Carbon Management Plan. The report also set out the impact on the Council of a new statutory requirement, compliance with the Carbon Reduction Commitment. The Committee agreed that a press release on the Councils commitment to addressing climate change should be issued.

With regard to travel management plans it was agreed that Councillors should also be included and that the reduction in short journeys would be a quick win.

RESOLVED

1. That a press release on the Councils commitment to addressing climate change be issued.
2. That the Council’s approach to the climate change agenda be noted.
3. That the possibility of devising a travel plan for councillors be investigated.
