over 500 tonnes

We’re making good progress towards our goal of becoming a net-zero carbon emissions organisation by 2035 and latest figures show we have cut more than 500 tonnes from our carbon footprint.

Having invested £850,000 in replacing old streetlights with LEDs, we’ve not only ensured our district is bright and safe, but we’ve cut 60 tonnes of carbon by adopting more efficient lighting options.

We’ve also improved lighting and other infrastructure within our council buildings, which has helped cut 91 tonnes of carbon, with a further 30 tonnes expected to follow. By changing our working practices, we’ve achieved a further reduction of 370 tonnes of carbon.

We continue to work closely to cut our own carbon footprint and are working with our partners and communities to help everybody make sustainable changes.
