Committee is asked to support the initiation of the Project Green Horizon Programme and approve the initiation/undertaking of the first three projects under the programme

The Committee considered a request for support for the Project Green Horizon programme which aimed to reduce the Council’s carbon footprint through projects under four key action areas. Members were asked to support the approach and projects in principle, with more detailed reports on specific projects returning to the appropriate committee(s) for approval.

The Committee debated specific projects set out and their estimated capital investment and carbon reduction, but acknowledged that further information regarding project costings and impact would be provided to members before approval was sought on particular projects. The Committee suggested amendments could be made to the report clarify this.

The Committee acknowledged the aim of the Project Green Horizon Programme and its support for the Council’s climate objectives.

The Committee resolved to support the initiation of the Project Green Horizon Programme and approve the initiation/undertaking of the first three projects under the programme, subject to the amendments suggested at the meeting being incorporated.
