Becoming a Carbon Neutral Borough
As well as our commitment for the Council’s operations to be carbon neutral by 2030, our aim is for the whole Borough to be carbon neutral by the same date. We can’t do this on our own, and we recognise and welcome the amazing work that a growing number of local organisations are already doing to tackle climate change - their case studies can be found here.
