The Climate Emergency Response Plan Engagement is now closed.

Thank you to everyone who took part.

The engagement findings report will be available here later this year.

Your views are really important and what you have told us will be used to help shape the draft Climate Emergency Response Plan 2025-2030 for the borough, which will then be shared for public consultation later this year.


Housing is one of the most important issues in tackling climate change. Our population is changing and growing, and more people will be living in our borough in future. Our heating systems and energy use contribute to the carbon emissions generated from our homes.

Energy costs are also a vitally important factor in everyone’s household bills, and the increase in these costs in recent years has had major impacts on the cost of living and people’s wellbeing. There is a great deal of information available about new, lower-carbon technologies, however many have concerns about whether these technologies are suitable for their homes. We want to understand these concerns, and together with residents, produce a fair and achievable roadmap for how we can support residents to transition to net zero. Ensuring we have good, well insulated and efficient homes will help reduce energy bills, improve health and wellbeing, and tackle climate change.

Have your say

Tell us what you think the Climate Emergency Response Plan could do to help meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities of providing housing that is lower carbon and meets the needs of communities in future.

You can share your views either by completing the survey below or sharing your thoughts on our ideas board.

This engagement exercise is open until Sunday, 1 September 2024.
