Wiltshire Council has featured at the UN Climate Change conference COP27, as part of a campaign that showcases the activities and projects that councils are delivering to tackle this global issue.

Wiltshire Council has expressed its opposition and frustration at Bath & North East Somerset (BANES) Council's proposals to extend its Clean Air Zone by introducing a charge for Euro VI diesel HGVs exceeding 12 tonnes.

New air source heat pumps have been installed at a number of Wiltshire Council leisure centres, one of which is one of the biggest in the country, meaning the facilities are now carbon neutral for all their energy use.

There are now less than two weeks to take part in the Wiltshire Local Plan review consultation, and for people to have their say on where future developments may be built in the county in the next 15 years.

Wiltshire Council has responded to a report that has been released today (Monday 22 February) by Wiltshire Climate Alliance (WCA) to mark two years since the council declared a climate emergency.

The last of Wiltshire Council's online engagement sessions to explain more about the ongoing Local Plan review consultation has ended, with 1,321 people joining the events.

Wiltshire Council has been successful in its bid for Green Homes Grant of £546,500 which will target work to be carried out to improve 100 of the Council's least energy efficient homes as part of its Housing Energy Efficiency programme.

People are urged to submit applications digitally through the Wiltshire Council website to avoid unnecessary delays.

Homeowners and landlords can now access funding to pay for the cost of energy saving measures under the new Green Homes Grant scheme and businesses are being encouraged to register their services.
