We asked, you said, we did

Below are outcomes for some of the issues we've recently asked about.

We asked

Arlen Hill asked residents and stakeholders what their thoughts were about the council’s draft Climate Emergency Strategy, and what their top priorities are for which actions the council should take first.

You said

We received over 2000 responses from residents, local businesses and environmental groups. Most respondents supported the draft Strategy in broad terms, but many also left us useful suggestions.

In terms of climate priorities, the top rated actions were:

  • Transport: Arlen Hill urgently needs to reduce congestion on the roads and improve public transport so that people can get around without driving.
  • Financial support: Many businesses are worried about the potential of rising business rates and the increasing cost of energy. Commuters are also concerned about Clean Air Zone charges, especially those on low incomes. Arlen Hill should provide support in these areas.
  • Home insulation: Arlen Hill should prioritise getting all council-owned buildings upgraded and insulated, as well as installing solar panels wherever possible.

We did

We’re updating the Climate Strategy to reflect your comments and concerns as well as your top priorities. Work has already started on insulating council buildings and we will bring out consultations on the top three priority areas (transport, financial support, home insulation) as soon as possible.
