Sustainable Council
Caerphilly county borough council are committed to making sustainable development a central guiding principle for all of our activities. The Council first approved a sustainable development policy in January 1997 and set out the principles of sustainable development that should guide all the actions of the authority. Since then we have worked hard to play our part in contributing to the shared Community Strategy goal of a sustainable county borough.
Our new sustainable development strategy, “Living Better, Using Less” (PDF, 2.3Mb) restates our commitment to sustainable development and sets targets for 2030 to provide a framework to assess our progress towards long-term goals.
In 2008 we agreed the following sustainable development policy
“Caerphilly county borough council will work with partners to enable everybody in the county borough to live longer, healthier, more fulfilled lives whilst consuming less resources and fulfilling our responsibilities to the planet and future generations.”
We have in place Member and officer groups designed to coordinate the mainstreaming of sustainable development in the authority and wider county borough. These include the Sustainable Development Advisory Panel, Sustainable Development Officer Group, Energy Sub Group and the Sustainable Development & Living Environment Team.
Our Corporate Improvement Plan sets out our key priorities including how we will “improve the sustainability of our operations”.
Specific actions are set out in individual Service Improvement Plans.
