What we asked
The main purpose of the consultation was to seek input from members of the public, local businesses, and stakeholders on the Draft Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES).
What the response was
A total of 112 responses were received, and the pertinent feedback has informed the final version of the Strategy and Delivery Plan.
69% strongly agreed or agreed with the aims of the LHEES
54% agreed the priorities in the LHEES were the right ones for 51³Ô¹ÏÃâ·ÑApp and Bute
59% said that improving energy efficiency was very important
67% said that it is very important / quite important that the LHEES prioritises zero-emission heating
51% agreed that it was important that communities which generate zero carbon energy should benefit from doing so
60% agreed that the 51³Ô¹ÏÃâ·ÑApp and Bute LHEES should aim to tackle fuel poverty
What was decided as a result of the response
Pertinent feedback has informed the final version of the Strategy and Delivery Plan.
Stakeholder input will continue to shape the LHEES Strategy and Delivery Plan, as the LHEES is characterised by its iterative nature, and the documents are designed to be dynamic and adaptable rather than static. The Council plans to establish an interagency delivery group to develop detailed actions to implement LHEES priorities. In addition, the LHEES Officer will continue to work closely with the Community Planning Partnership while they develop a Regional Climate Change Plan for 51³Ô¹ÏÃâ·ÑApp and Bute.
