Tackling the Climate Emergency

December 2024

Climate Emergency Response Plan consultation

Consultation on new Climate Emergency Response Plan launched

The Council is asking people in the borough to share their views on the actions the Council has set out to tackle the Climate Emergency. A draft of the Council’s Climate Emergency Response Plan for 2025 – 2030 has been prepared following an initial co-production exercise earlier this year. The plan will be used as a guide to support west Cheshire to achieve its target to reach net zero by 2045. You can view the draft plan and complete the consultation on the Council's website before 12 February 2025. Paper copies are available on request.

Electric vehicle being charged

Council progresses plans for electric vehicle infrastructure

A scheme to support residents that lack off-street charging capability and provides funding to accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles, plus the infrastructure required has progressed following approval from the Department of Transport. The scheme will see at least 800 public electric vehicle (EV) charging points installed across the borough over a five year period between 2025 and 2030. The charge points and charging bays will be designed to the latest accessibility standards.

Share your views on the borough’s plan to tackle the Climate Emergency

A draft of the Council's Climate Emergency Response Plan for 2025 - 2030 is available to view following an initial co-production exercise earlier this year.

The Council is asking people and organisations in west Cheshire to review the plan and provide feedback on the outcomes and actions included, through an online consultation. 

This is the second Climate Emergency Response Plan prepared for the borough and will be used as a guide to support west Cheshire to achieve its target to reach net zero by 2045.

You can have your say on all sections of the plan or choose to answer questions and provide feedback on one of the six key theme areas:

  • Business and industry 
  • Transport
  • Housing
  • Energy 
  • Land use and adaptation
  • Waste and the circular economy 

Paper copies of the consultation are available on request and the Council's Climate Change team are hosting a series of drop-in sessions, where you can talk to them about the proposed plan and provide feedback.
