International, national and regional policies outline the need to reduce harmful emissions of greenhouse gases such CO2, a major contributor to climate change. The Council has recently published its Carbon Management Action Plan and associated emissions reduction targets. This proposal outlines a scheme to further reduce CO2 emissions as a result of the direct operations of major partners in the LSP by rolling out a project to develop individual Carbon Management Action Plans (CMAP) for all partners involved. It is envisaged that at least another seven partners will be engaged in the project. Delivery of the CMAPs will be through a partnership approach with the Carbon Trust. Pump priming funds will be used to help develop the CMAPs, possibly through using consultants from the Carbon Trust to work with partners to develop realistic targets for the reductions. Estimated costs: \u00a325,000 per year ; \u00a375,000 over 3 years Reward Element \u2013 Target RE06/EV07 The development of an off-highway cycle route network will provide greater awareness of the health benefits cycling can offer and encourage the presently sedentary members of the community to adopt a healthier lifestyle and make it easier to cycle more. The routes encourage cycling commuter use, utility and leisure trips, and provide off-road sections to the benefit of the local communities.
