Recommendations:

That the Policy & Resources Committee:

2.1.     That Committee notes the three priorities of the Carbon Neutral Fund as set out in the high level 22-23 and 23-24 work programme included in the July 2022 P&R Committee report, namely carbon reduction, biodiversity enhancement and climate change adaptation.

2.2.     That Committee notes the 9836.5 tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) forecast GHG savings reported in Appendix 1 for the 23 carbon-reduction projects, plus one climate change adaptation project, in receipt of funding from the 2022-24 Carbon Neutral Fund.

2.3. That Committee agrees £1 million is allocated from the LTN capital borrowing allocation into a redesigned Hanover & Tarner scheme that has buy-in from residents, with a clear emphasis on planned road safety improvement measures on Elm Grove, Queens Park Road and Egremont Place, subject to a detailed report back to ETS and P&R committees in the summer to comply with council’s financial procedures.
