Monitoring and review

Performance and progress against each of the actions within this strategy will be reviewed annually in conjunction with members and stakeholders.

A transparent annual position statement will be produced to highlight our progress and how effective these measures have been in reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency.

New actions and targets may be agreed if further changes are made to corporate objectives, national legislation and policy.

Focus on this area is in its infancy in national political and strategic contexts so it is likely that further legislation, guidance and funding arrangements are implemented over the next few years.

We are keen to understand the ongoing impact of energy and fuel process on our residents and our annual review will incorporate statistical and perception-based analysis of both our carbon reductions and impact on residents.

This will enable us to be responsive in tackling any emerging issues.

The Portfolio Holder for Housing Services, working with the Executive Head of Governance and Housing, our Housing Service Managers and the council's Climate Change Manager will lead the review of the delivery action plan.

In reviewing its strategy annually this council remains committed to embracing amended policy direction and incorporating it within annual updates.
