Issue - meetings

Janet Scholes, Assistant Director for Asset Management introduced the report, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, outlining the process for ensuring that carbon reduction measures were embedded in the Council’s asset management decisions.  A presentation gave a summary of the Council’s Property 2025 programme to review every land and property asset and ensure that an effective plan was in place for their management.

The presentation illustrated how Property 2025 linked back to the Climate Change Workshop on Property held in 2020 and helped to deliver the findings and four main priorities highlighted in that workshop.  It also took the Committee through the asset planning process, which would ensure that property performance was benchmarked, measured and an appropriate plan was in place for improvements, ultimately leading to greatly improved performance across the property portfolio.  This aligned with the Council’s asset rationalisation programme which was driven by a number of strategic objectives, including carbon reduction.

RESOLVED to: receive the presentation.
