Energy
Renewable energy comes from the Earth’s natural resources, including sunlight, wind and water. It doesn’t pollute the planet and we need to use a lot more of it and develop more locally in order to help us tackle the worst effects of climate change.
These are our actions relating to the production, delivery and use of renewable energy in the borough
