Document Climate Change Communications Plan 2024/25

The Committee heard that there was a constructive debate at the Climate Change Member Working Party.

The Committee agreed that the plan provided a useful mechanism for the Council to use its resources effectively, target where there was potential to have the greatest impact, and ensure the even distribution of effort across the borough.

Some members felt that the plan not including the crossings at Vicarage Road, Pooley Green, and Thorpe was regrettable.  Officers agreed to reconsider the crossings which would be the focus of the campaign as part of the early evidence gathering stage.

It was resolved that the proposed Climate Change Communications Plan 2024-25, as contained at Appendix A of the officer’s report, be agreed with an implementation date of 1 April 2024.
