   We ensure that we work with partners who are committed to sustainable practices and consider their impact on the environment.

   Councillors work with local groups to promote awareness of sustainability and good environmental practices.

   Wherever possible we invest in and promote green technologies on our council owned facilities.

   We are proud to use peat free compost in our town’s flower displays.
