Issue - meetings

To consider the attached report of the Strategic Director (Operations and Commercial).

The Strategic Director (Operations and Commercial) presented the report on the Kent and Medway Energy and Low Emissions Strategy (ELES).

The ELES set out the Kent and Medway response to the UK Climate emergency, and how partnership working by Kent Local Authorities would drive countywide clean, resilient economic recovery. The strategy identified ten priority actions that would promote the development of an affordable, clean and secure energy supply for Kent, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, eliminate poor air quality and reduce fuel poverty.

RESOLVED: That Cabinet decision CAB75 be endorsed as follows:

(a)  That the development of the Kent and Medway Energy and Low Emissions Strategy be welcomed as an excellent example of collaboration between councils across Kent.

(b)  That a commitment to meeting the objectives set out in the Kent and Medway Energy and Low Emissions Strategy and the underlying Implementation Plan in so far as it is consistent with this Council’s corporate priorities, and to the extent that resources will allow, be approved.
