The Assistant Director of Neighbourhoods Services introduced the report of the Director of Neighbourhood Services which provided the Committee with a performance report in relation to Environment and Climate Emergency, and Highways and Infrastructure. The report was designed based on discussion with Members through working group activity in 2021.

Members were keen to establish that the figures in the report were largely affected by Covid working conditions and a number of unprecedented extreme weather incidents. Members wanted to know what was being achieved in terms of reducing transport emissions. The Chair highlighted the importance of road safety when encouraging active travel in order to reduce transport emissions.

Resolved – That the report be noted.
