greener agenda.
Enforcement of cleaner, safer greener legislation in
an attempt to reduce anti-social behaviour. Current
resources will be empowered to carry out a limited
amount of enforcement duties along with their other
work.
Impact of climate change upon all the current
services. This would include increased pressures
upon the Coast Protection and Flood Alleviation
services; longer growing seasons will impact upon
the Parks and Gardens. Increases in rainfall and
flooding of buildings leads to increased repair costs
To deliver more sustainable services will require
further initiatives for procurement and how we deliver
services. This may lead to an increase in service
costs.
Impact of climate change upon the Environment
giving increases more frequent storms will impact
upon our capacity to deliver the Emergency Services
in response to flooding etc in areas of the District.
Increased reporting and monitoring of items which
relate to the climate change agenda. These include
such issues as the monitoring of energy use and
carbon and nitrous oxide emissions expended in
delivering council services and waste miles i.e.
delivery to disposal points whether for waste or
recycling
Health and Safety needs to be reviewed across all
the services. This is not only on how services are
carried out but how they could impact on the users.
This has close links to risk management; emergency
planning; and the impact of climate change.
Asset Deterioration – The services need to
proactively manage the assets on a planned
maintenance inspection regime. Works to meet
Health and Safety and Occupiers Liability
requirements will be commenced subject to financial
resources.
Building management – The construction of new
buildings and alteration of existing buildings will be
changed to reduce the carbon footprint and to reduce
the impact on climate change. There will be
increased use of sustainable materials and
equipment.
