Environmental Documents

 

This leaflet gives key information from Leicester City Council's Environmental Statement for April 2007 to March 2008.  It highlights how the Council is tackling climate change and what residents and local organisations can do to help.

 

 

The pdf version of the Statement below is searchable from its Contents Page.

 

Leicester City Council is committed to transforming Leicester into "Britain's sustainable city".  This is the overall goal of the One Leicester 25 year vision for the city, which the Council is working towards in partnership with other key organisations.

 

Our Environmental Policy supports this goal, focusing on reducing our carbon footprint, creating a quality local environment and the wise use of natural resources.

 

The City of Leicester recognises the potential implications that climate change has for the environmental, economic, and social well being of the city and the wider world. It also recognises that it has a responsibility to minimise the impacts of climate change caused by, and affecting, the people of Leicester. The Leicester Environment Partnership have therefore developed a Climate Change Strategy for the city to stimulate public debate, raise awareness, and initiate a plan of action to minimise these impacts and effects.

 

 

The Leicester Environment Strategy has been developed by the Leicester Environment Partnership which is made up of representatives from many organisations with environmental interests and responsibilities in Leicester.  The  strategy sets out a comprehensive vision, backed up by strategic aims, objectives and targets covering all of the main environmental issues faced by the city of Leicester.
