The Interim Director of Corporate Services submitted a report which sought Member’s views on the draft Wirral Affordable Warmth Implementation Plan 2012-14 (Appendix 1) prior to Borough-wide consultation. This would be key to delivering the Corporate Priority of “Working with our partners and the private sector to improve energy and resource efficiency to address and tackle fuel poverty” and meeting strategic priorities identified within the Housing Strategy for Wirral.

The plan would also assist the Council in meeting its statutory duty to report on reductions in carbon dioxide emissions from housing under the Home Energy Conservation Act 1995.
