Decision

that the report be noted. It was also recommended that:  SMART targets should be encouraged where this was possible;  the matrix for prioritisation should balance cost, the likely carbon reduction impact and equalities (in order to support the most vulnerable and to emphasise the importance of social justice);  an easier read version of the plan would be welcome (as would updates to the information on the Council’s website incorporating the actions that individuals could take to reduce their household impact); and there should be greater integration of the annexes to better demonstrate how they relate to one another (to include clarity about what is and what is not within the Council’s control)
