RECOMMENDED that Council approve:-

(1) for the PSDS 3b project (RAMM & Riverside) not proceed any further, following consideration of the outcomes of the Year 1 exploration, design, and pricing stages; and

(2) for Officers to allocate time to progress matters in preparation for future funding opportunities to secure monies required to decarbonise both sites.

Reason for Decision: As set out in the report.
