RESOLVED: That a reference be sent
to the Biodiversity and Climate Change Working Group asking it to
ensure that the renovation of the Lockmeadow entertainment complex is exemplar in
terms of environmental sustainability with consideration being
given to not just the installation of electric vehicle charging
points but also additional native tree planting along the riverside
and potentially the retro-fitting of the building with, for
example, an air source heat pump.
