Cabinet is asked to approve the Carbon
Management Plan. Medway Council was one of 26 local authorities
selected to take part in the third phase of the Carbon Trust's
Local Authority Carbon Management programme. The programme aims to
provide a comprehensive process for measuring carbon emissions
produced by local authority activity, in order to develop a cost
effective plan for making reductions.
127/2006 The Cabinet agreed the Carbon
Management Action Plan attached at appendix one to the
report.
Reducing carbon emissions is entirely
consistent with our key priority and core value to 'maintain and
improve the local environment'. In the context of rapidly
increasing energy costs (estimates at a 104% increase for Medway
this year) the development of a comprehensive action plan to manage
the use of energy and thus reduce both energy use and carbon
emissions is an essential part of maintaining a sustainable budget
for the council.
