The Leader stated that the Council was very committed to combat climate change and had pledged to cut CO2 emissions from the Council’s activities to net zero by 2030 and be the greenest council in the country.

Councillor Lisa Homan stated that the Council, alongside 6 other councils, was successful in a joint bid to undertake a whole house retrofit project to make homes zero carbon using the innovative EnergieSprong (ES) approach. A total of 27 homes in the West Kensington Estate had been identified to take part in this project. Their aim was to take learnings from this project forward to apply across the whole of the Council’s housing stock. This report was to approve the ‘Design’ and ‘Prototype’ phases and delegate the approval to the Strategic Director of Economy.
