CHESHIRE West and Chester Council’s cabinet has set out its plan for the borough to become carbon neutral by 2045. At a meeting today (Wednesday, February 10) cabinet members approved the council’s Climate Emergency Response Plan, which aims for the whole borough to be carbon neutral by 2045. The cabinet also adopted its Carbon Management Plan which details how the authority will become a carbon neutral organisation by 2030. Both reports describe how West Cheshire is one of the highest carbon-emitting areas in the UK. It also recognises the world-leading decarbonisation work going on in the borough through projects such as Net Zero North West and HyNet, focussing on reducing carbon emissions across the industrial sector.
