Bath & North East Somerset Council is committing to invest tens of millions of pounds in tackling the climate and ecological emergency.
The council has allocated more than £38 million over the next five years to projects designed to drive down carbon emissions. This will include an additional £9.2 million for a new state-of-the-art recycling hub, £14.2 million to modernise waste services, £2.3 million to refurbish the council’s commercial estate, and £754,000 to expand the council’s green vehicle fleet.
The funding comes on top of more than £11 million previously allocated in the council’s five -year capital programme to tackle the climate and ecological emergency.
Sarah Warren, deputy leader and cabinet member for Climate and Sustainable Travel, said: “I am delighted that the council has agreed to this significant investment to tackle the climate and ecological emergency. Despite challenging financial pressures, it is important we do not lose sight of the pressing need to take action to reduce carbon emissions. Time is ticking, we have just eight years to reach our net zero goal. It’s why this investment now is so crucial.”
