We have made a commitment to tackle climate change. Our ambition is for the Council to be carbon neutral by 2030.
To support this ambition our Climate Change Strategy sets out our approach to not only taking action against its own emissions but also supporting communities in the borough to reduce their emissions and carbon footprint.

There are three key focuses of the strategy:
Action plans
The strategy is supported by a detailed Management Delivery Plan, which sets out specific actions that will be taken in order to take specific action where possible and influence behaviours in order to reduce carbon emissions across the borough. You can access the delivery plans for each of the priority areas here:
- Climate change management plan - priority one
- Climate change management plan - priority two
- Climate change management plan - priority three
The council has established a Climate Change Cabinet Advisory Board to maintain oversight of the Management Delivery Plan. They will ensure that the council remains abreast of wider climate change issues, and that appropriate information is made aware to the Cabinet.
