I haven’t been able to get out and about as muchas I planned to but I’m looking forward to getting to know theborough better.I’m responsible for working with staff across all the differentdepartments in the Council to develop a plan for how we’ll deliverour commitment to becoming a carbon neutral council. That couldbe anything from looking at ways to make building and vehiclesmore energy efficient to looking at how we complete individualtasks or the materials we use. I’ve heard some great suggestionsalready.I’m also here to support colleagues with advice and support onanything sustainability-related and keep everyone up to date withour progress.I love being able to work in an area that I’m absolutely passionateabout. I’ve been working or volunteering on environment andsustainability issues for more than 30 years and I do try to do thethings I encourage other people to do, such as walking or usingpublic transport where possible and reducing my single useplastics.Nobody expects everyone to be perfect, but we are in a climateemergency and it will take all of us doing what we can to get usthrough it.”The Council is consulting on its draft tree and woodlandstrategy for 2021-31.
