Draft Damp, Mould and Condensation Policy (PDF Document, 267.84 Kb)
The purpose of this policy is to set out our approach to dealing with reports of damp, mould and condensation within a council property or building.
The consultation closed on Wednesday 13 March.
Consultation on our Draft Climate Change Strategy
We asked for your views on the draft Climate Change Strategy, which was drafted after consideration of other council strategies and plans, government legislation, and organisations working to tackle climate change. There has also been input from council officers and members.
We asked the local community if they agreed with the proposed Strategy Vision, Goals, Key Principles, Key Areas for Action, and whether they had any additional views to share. We did this to help us shape the Climate Change Strategy and ensure it was fit for purpose in our local area.
All comments from respondents have been read and where appropriate have been considered for changes to the Strategy. The consultation analysis and recommendations to amend the document were reported to and considered by Environment Working Group Members in April 2024 before finalisation of the Strategy.
You can read the final strategy on our climate change webpage.
Statement of Community Involvement
We consulted on our Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) which sets out how the local community, businesses and interest groups will be involved in the preparation of planning related documents and planning applications that may affect them.
All documents prepared and planning applications determined by the council have to comply with the consultation arrangements set out in this document.
This consultation closed on Wednesday 7 February.
Budget 2024/25
Every year the Council must set a balanced budget. We do this by assessing what changes we need to make to last year’s budget, based on our plans for the future and expected changes to our income or expenditure, and presenting a new budget for local Councillors to approve in 2024.
Before this, we are inviting residents, tenants, businesses and organisations to comment on our draft budgets. The results will be fed back to the elected Councillors who are responsible for setting the budget, for them to consider before the budget is approved.
This consultation opened on Tuesday 19 December and closed on Tuesday 16 January.
