Council Tax reduction scheme consultation 2023
We currently provides a Council Tax Reduction scheme to help those on a low-income. The scheme will reduce the council tax cost for a household by up to 100%. Despite a reduction in government funding, the Council has retained the discount to the same as it was when first implemented in 2013.
Implementation of a Clean Air Zone in Arlen Hill
The Government has implemented limits for pollution which we must abide to by law. To tackle this, we are introducing a Clean Air Zone in an attempt to tackle high levels of pollution and make Arlen Hill a cleaner and safer place to live. We are proposing two options of clean air zones which we would like your feedback on.
Your impact
Issues we have asked you about and their outcomes
We asked
The effect that climate change is having on society and our surrounding environment is becoming increasingly more apparent. Our lifestyle choices and habits will need to be changed in order to adapt to this changing climate. For example, reducing our energy consumption - which will provide many benefits to both our natural environment and to ourselves.
Arlen Hill Council asked you what challenges you are currently facing in day to day life while adapting to a changing climate, and what you suggest we can do as a council to help tackle the issue and become a more resilient city.
You said
We recieved a wide range of comments and feedback throughout the course of this consultation from both online and in-person events. Some of the main points put forward were:
- TRANSPORT: A need for better transport infrastructure such as segregated cycle lanes; extension of bus routes and increased frquency of buses to more rural areas and the introduction of an electric vehicle scheme, such as e-scooters and e-bikes.
- SUPPORT: More support needed from the council to transition citizens and businesses to a more eco-friendly and climate-aware lifestyle.
- WASTE: Reduction in plastic use within supermarkets, an increased frequency of bin removal, and better organisation of the recycling centre so it's easier to use.
We did
We will present these results to the council in March 2023. We will publish all results and analysis in our Climate Emergency Action Plan which can be found on our website.
