Following this a consultation was launched with 561 respondents, and detailed written submissions from community groups. The consultation found overwhelming support for Richmond Council to take action on climate change with 85% of respondents saying it was one of the top three priorities for the Council and over half saying it was the top priority for the Council. 75% agreed that the target of being carbon neutral as an organisation by 2030 was appropriate. In addition, there was overwhelming support for the approaches proposed for the individual sections of the strategy. An extensive communications plan was developed and delivered, including posters, promotion via social media, information on the Richmond website and video content. Two climate change summits were held: A youth focused summit, which included 160 children from 19 schools, which Sir David Attenborough attended for an hour long Q&A session on climate change and reflections on his life’s work highlighting the fragility of our planet and the need for action in addressing the climate emergency; An adult focused summit, attended by 130 people and facilitated on the day by representatives from local environment and climate change groups. Officers met with key local partners, including Achieving for Children and South West London Environmental Network and officers in other London Boroughs, attended London-wide officer network events, including the London Environment Directors Network (LEDNet) Climate Change Group, the LEDNET policy group and the London Policy and Strategy Network. An initial review of progress on the RCES and first action plan was reported to Committee in September 2020 and a comprehensive report and update on every action went to a public committee meeting in February 2021. Alongside this, an updated action plan for 2021 was scrutinised and agreed. Plans are underway for the council to hold a week long climate event in Richmond at the same time as COP26 that will allow residents, businesses and local groups to come together to talk about and take action on climate change. The main themes of the week would be aligned with those in the Climate Emergency Strategy and outputs from a variety of sessions will inform the refresh of the action plan for 2022. | |||

Officers have also met with key local partners, including Achieving for Children and South West London Environmental Network. In order to get a London perspective officers have also met or spoken to officers in other London Boroughs, including Camden, Ealing, Hackney, Hounslow, Kingston and Redbridge. Officers have also attended London-wide officer network events, including the London Environment Directors Network (LEDNet) Climate Change Group, the LEDNET policy group and the London Policy and Strategy Network. On a sub-regional basis, the South London Partnership has also started working on climate change as a key issue and officers are involved in work here. 3.10 In order to understand the work of leading climate change charities and organisations and identify how the best practice they have identified can be applied in Richmond, meetings and calls have been held with UK100, Climate Outreach, Possible and the Centre for Sustainable Energy. Officers have also attended conferences and events organised by groups such as Friends of the Earth, Nesta, Carbon Literacy Trust, Royal Geographical Society and Localis. | |||

In 2021 the Council committed its own funds to scaling up the ecargo bike offering for businesses and residents. In addition, an e-scooter trial is live and funding has been allocated to developing cargo bike parking and storage options, alongside reallocation of roadspace. | |||

We have already hosted a climate change themed Richmond Partnership Conference with key partners in the borough and established a Richmond Climate Charter, including a commitment to reducing carbon emissions and to sustainable environmental, social and economic approaches.

This is separate from the cancelled national Green Vouchers Scheme.The scheme is being delivered through a partnership with a not-for-profit cooperative, Retrofit Works (RW) who are local specialists in retrofits. The council handle a majority of the administrative tasks for the scheme. RW contact the interested residents, conduct housing surveys , and talk through the options for what improvements can be done and when. Upon resident decision and agreement, Retrofit Works will arrange delivery of improvements to homes.RW use existing relationships with local contractors and surveyors to gain access for installations, negotiating good prices and providing information to residents. This work provides local jobs to local people and uses Trust Mark services only. | |||

Opportunities | 6.2a | Please provide some key examples of how your city collaborates with business and/or industries in the table below. | 3 | Description of collaboration | 2 | The council was successful in its bid to the Energy Saving Trust’s E-cargo Bike Grant Fund Local Authority Scheme. The scheme aims to support businesses and organisations to make the switch from delivery vans to help reduce traffic and improve air quality, whilst making solid financial sense. The scheme involves the purchase of E-cargo bikes for use by businesses and organisations in each borough. The electric cargo bikes will replace journeys previously carried out by vehicles. The work included a project to involve the promotion of scheme to potential clients, assessing applications, selecting equipment, processing purchases, and arranging delivery, along with monitoring and promotion of the scheme in order to showcase e-cargo bike use for local deliveries.The organisations receiving bikes in the borough include:•The Council’s Inspection and Enforcement team•The Council’s Trees team•The Council’s Libraries team•The Tapestry Tapas Bar•TAG Youth Club for Disabled Young People (charity)•Environment Trust•Friends of Heathfield Recreation Ground and Environs•Leigh Gardens•Scent of Blooms•Achieving for Children•Barnes Community Association•Sheen DelicatessenThese organisations are demonstrating that the use of these bikes is both financially sensible as well as reducing traffic and improving environmental impacts. The example will hopefully result in the use of E-cargo bikes being scaled up and more widely adopted across the borough.As part of the Clean Air Villages, the council works in partnership with the Cross River Partnership and 11 other London boroughs to tackle last mile delivery emissions from high streets. In addition it works with Mytown to provide last mile ecargo bike solutions for local residents and shops. |
