MAIDSTONE BOROUGH COUNCIL
COMMUNITIES, HOUSING AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE
REFERENCE FROM STRATEGIC PLANNING, SUSTAINABILITY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
DRAFT LOW EMISSION STRATEGY
Issue for Decision
At their meeting of 8 March 2016 the Strategic Planning, Sustainability and Transportation Committee (SPST Committee) were presented with and discussed the Draft Low Emission Strategy. The Committee were disappointed at the low responses to the consultation. Those who did respond to the consultation commented on the lack of detail in the draft strategy document. The SPST Committee were advised that a workshop involving all Borough Councillors would be held after the elections in May 2016, where all Councillors would have the opportunity to input their ideas and concerns. The information gathered at the workshop would be used to draft the Low Emission Action Plan.
Recommendation Made
That the Communities, Housing and Environment Committee be recommended to fix a date for the Low Emission Workshop, as early as possible before the elections in May 2016, inviting all Borough Councillors to attend, to establish the parameters of the Low Emissions Action Plan.
