FOI Request - Council Green Initiatives

The request was successful.

Dear Wealden District Council,

I would like to request the following information about any eco-friendly steps your council is currently taking to reduce their carbon footprint on the planet and improve sustainable development within the area:

1. Does the council take any of its energy from on-site renewable energy installations? If so, which ones?
2. Are there any eco-friendly initiatives for staff members to partake in? E.g. green transport solutions, recycling initiatives. If so, please state them.
3. Who is the main energy supplier for local council buildings, and are you on a green/renewable energy tariff with them?

Please provide the above information as a Word Document.

If the request is unclear, please do contact me as it is my understanding that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist requesters. If any of this information is already in the public domain, please can you direct me to it, with page references and URLs if necessary?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Ella Grappy
