Chair's Report Minutes: The Chair, Cllr Clarke, updated the meeting on the work the council had accomplished over the last year, she explained this was the 4th Annual special meeting since a climate emergency was declared in 2019. Environment and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee had worked hard over the last year to scrutinise the council’s Net Zero Carbon Strategy and all workstreams surrounding this. The committee had also considered period waste, last mile deliveries and residual waste and recycling. The committee had also received presentations from external organisations and speakers such as the North London Waste Authority, as well as presentations on urban food growing and affordable and sustainable energy community groups. As well as this the committee had hosted various working groups to hear from community groups on the likes of retrofitting and community energy. |
