Acting under urgency powers, and following consultation with the Section 151 Officer and Deputy Monitoring Officer, the Mayor, political group leaders and engagement with the Carbon Members Advisory Panel, the Chief Executive has taken the decision to accept a grant offer of £1,449,274 Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme phase 3C from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to fund carbon reduction measures for Municipal Building Crewe, Knutsford Leisure Centre, Nantwich Library and Congleton Library.

In order to draw-down the funding, the Council will need to complete the individual projects by 31/03/2026 and provide match funding for each project. The money will be spent as part of the Council’s facilities capital budget in 2025 – 2026.
