Cotswold District Council want to put their community at the heart of its environmental action plans. It is one of the few councils to have declared both a climate and ecological emergency, and have plans in place to deliver real action across all the communities of the district. But it has gone further, placing climate and biodiversity considerations at the heart of all its planning decisions as part of its ‘green to the core’ commitments, and its mission is to ensure that all developments are done with the support and input of local communities.
The council see public investments as an important part of their approach to taking climate action, and it intends to launch further rounds of the Cotswold Climate Investment, to give the residents and the general public more opportunities to get involved in its exciting programme of environmental action.
