Members considered a detailed report which provided interim post-scrutiny monitoring on the Committee’s recent Review of the Council’s Approach to Carbon Reduction.

The Committee had put together nine recommendations, as outlined in the appendices attached to the report, which would hopefully enable the Council to clarify immediate priorities for action, as well as longer term planning, to ensure the Council and District was net zero by 2050. To date, 4 out 9 recommendations had been achieved and 5 were on track.

The Monitoring Officer advised that a report regarding the creation of a Carbon

Reduction Officer Post, one of the recommendations made by Scrutiny Committee, would be considered by Council on 6th December.

Moved by Councillor Robert Hiney-Saunders and seconded by Councillor Janet Tait

RESOLVED that:

1)    progress against the review recommendations be noted;

2)    the report and findings be made public in accordance with Part 4.5.17(4) of the Council’s Constitution,

3)    officers continue to implement the recommendations and submit a further report in six months’ time highlighting progress and any exceptions to delivery.

(Scrutiny Officer)

Councillors Anne Clarke and Mary Dooley, the Partnership & Strategy Manager and the Commissioning & Contracts Officer left the meeting.
