One Planet Sutton Targets

Overview

Sutton is committed to ensuring our residents are able to live happy, healthy lives in a way which helps to save money and our resources. This is why Sutton committed to becoming a One Planet Living Borough in 2009.

Being a One Planet Living Borough means that we are committed to helping residents lead lives that are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.
One Planet Living is our approach to helping Sutton become a fairer, greener, safer borough, for example; to help meet our targets to reduce CO2 from across the borough will require actions that help lower residents fuel bills, reduce fuel poverty and reduce cold weather related deaths. Increasing the use of sustainable transport, improving our green spaces and encouraging local food growing will help improve resident’s health.

Why your views matter

Much has changed since the publication of our first One Planet Sutton targets and action plan. A review of Sutton’s progress towards our original One Planet Living targets can be found at http://www.oneplanetsutton.org/background/partners/

To reaffirm our commitment to One Planet Living, and to ensure our targets are challenging but realistic , the council has worked with community groups and businesses from across the borough to propose a revised set of One Planet Sutton Targets.

This consultation allows residents, community groups, local businesses, and organisations to join us in the challenge of working together to set and achieve these new targets. We welcome your views on the proposed targets which can be found in the Related Documents section on this page.

What happens next

This consultation will close on 31^st July. We will publish a statement of response to the consultation which will be taken to Environment and Neighborhoods Committee on 3^rd October 2013.
