Congratulating South Lanarkshire Council on its Energy Saving Strategy

Lodged by Laura Moodie (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 10 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends South Lanarkshire Council for achieving energy savings and avoiding energy costs of over £1 million over two years; celebrates the resulting reduction in carbon emissions; understands that these savings were achieved through no or low-cost, climate-friendly adjustments to heating and building controls across the council’s property estate; welcomes the increased availability of funding for frontline services as a result, and encourages other local authorities to follow South Lanarkshire Council's example in reducing costs and climate emissions, particularly in light of projected energy price rises.
