Climate change
A Climate Change Panel was established by the Council
in September 2010.
The Panel is made up of councillors and council officers
and is also hoping to recruit 'co-opted' members from our
community.
The Panel is chaired by Councillor Richard Clemerson.
Other councillors involved are Jeremy Pearce (Conservative, Goffs
Oak Ward), Gary Clark (Conservative, Cheshunt North Ward), Michael
Watson (Labour, Waltham Cross Ward).
The Panel was given a very wide ranging brief - to co-ordinate
the Council's activities in the area of climate change.
Its focus is on three main areas:
1) Gaining a more detailed understanding of the Council's
current carbon footprint and identifying areas for potential CO²
reductions
2) Investigating ways in which the planning process could
possibly help reduce carbon emissions in the Borough
3) Considering ways to promote awareness of climate
change and energy efficiency issues.
Full details about the Panel's meetings are available in
the Council
meetings section.
