Cabinet considered (CE9) the annual report detailing the Council’s property portfolio from April 2008 to March 2009.
Councillor Armitage raised particular concern regarding poor performance regarding lowering carbon dioxide emissions. Extreme weather conditions should be included within the parameters for these targets and should not be used as an excuse when performance was not achieved. He urged the Cabinet to instruct operating divisions to prioritise this work.
Councillor Waine highlighted the anomaly which existed in schools where every effort was made to reduce emissions yet there was an expectation to increase usage of IT.
RESOLVED: to note the report CA9
