Arnesby Parish Council
Climate Change Statement of Intent.
Arnesby Parish Council is only too aware of the concerns of people of all ages in the community of the growing climate change crisis. This has seen individuals campaign for single use shopping bags, people being encouraged to sort and recycle waste, the May Fayre Committee has made available sponsored hessian bags and there has been a wide concern for the protection of endangered wildlife. The Parish Council intends to support and encourage individual and group initiatives and to explore actions that it can take that are within the scope of its powers. More »
The Parish Council intends to monitor international, national and local policies. It will look to see how these might be interpreted for relevance at a parish council level and whenever appropriate to incorporate such policies and actions into its local plans.
To save energy the Parish Council, in cooperation with Leicestershire County Council, has installed LED street lights. To further save energy the lamps are also programmed to dim during the quietest times of the night.
The Parish Council will examine planning applications to ensure that wherever possible energy efficiency and heat conservation are key features of the plans and design as set out on Policy D1: Design, in the Neighbourhood Plan 2019.
The Parish Council intends to work with local land owners and farmers to explore ways in which the land and surrounding hedgerows are maintained to provide a sustainable environment for plants and wildlife. The Council will also explore possibilities for conserving and planting woodland trees in order to maximise carbon reduction. The Loseby Trust woodland, alongside the allotments, is a good example of this kind of initiative.
The Parish Council will remain alert to changes in technology related to developments such as solar energy, wind power, batteries and other methods for generating electricity and energy conservation. Many people will be considering changing to electric modes of transport in the future. Such changes in the propulsion of cars and other vehicles will inevitably have significant structural implications. When schemes or policies suitability for community projects become available the Council will evaluate their cost benefits and relevance to a community the size of Arnesby and initiate the appropriate action.
