Redbridge’s roadmap to creating a carbon neutral council, as well as support the community to cut carbon emissions throughout the borough, is being taken forward.
The Climate Change Action Plan sets out the first chapter in the council’s journey towards creating a cleaner, greener and healthier Redbridge, detailing measures the council is taking to reduce its own carbon footprint by tackling emissions coming from council owned buildings and vehicles, as well as steps being taken by the council to support communities across borough to tackle climate change.
Redbridge’s aim is to become a carbon neutral council by 2030, and carbon zero by 2050. More than 100 actions have been identified for implementation, which will build on the work already underway in the borough.
The action plan targets these red flag areas with a raft of measures, which include: replacing the councils transport fleet with more environmentally friendly vehicles; increasing the number of electric vehicle charging points in the borough; improving cycling provisions and introducing 5km of new cycle lanes per year for the next five years; making council buildings more energy efficient; and eliminating single use items from all council offices and buildings.
Jas Athwal, leader of Redbridge Council said: “We’re committed to stepping up to the challenge of climate change across the council, and the borough – but we can’t do this alone, and need to work together as one community to drive down carbon emissions in Redbridge. By acting to address the causes and impacts of climate change we can make our borough a better place to live, work and visit.”
