Minutes:

It was proposed by Councillor Garner and seconded by Councillor Wing that:

 

“This Council resolves to:

 - in this year of COP26 add our voice to calls by the Local Government Association and the Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning and Transport & others for a joint local & national government Task Force to plan action to reach ‘net zero’ emissions. Such a partnership can set appropriate regulations, benchmarks and targets and create the much needed long-term funding mechanisms to enable local communities and economies to decarbonise whilst remaining resilient and sustainable.

 - write to Alok Sharma MP, President for COP26 , the Prime Minister and the Leadership Board of the LGA informing them of our support for a joint Local/National Government Climate Change Partnership Taskforce and asking for one to be established as soon as possible."

 

In accordance with council procedure rule 3.7, Councillor Robert Bayford provided a response to the motion.

 

Following a vote on the motion, the motion was carried.
