Environmental policy, strategy and action

The environment theme of the Community Strategy sets out the environmental priorities for the area and the council's Environmental Policy sets out how it will improve its environmental performance. We expect all council services and contractors to meet the requirements of the policy.

Through the Community Strategy, you have shown that you want to help build a sustainable future. There are many opportunities to get involved in this work, from joining our Environment Forum to taking part in a community event and taking action at home. You can find out more by downloading a copy of Networking News – our environmental newsletter. You can also read tips on transport, energy, waste and what you can do reduce your impacts.
