The Chair led a discussion to consider items for future meetings of the Cabinet Panel with Members and members of the public present.
The following Members took part in the discussion:
· Councillor Emma Fernandes
· Councillor Joe Graziano
The following points were raised as part of the discussion:
· There had been a Government report in January on a national security assessment relating to biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse.
· Concern had been raised over food security and provision in the event of a breakdown.
· Grant schemes related to insulation and heating should be further signposted to those on low incomes as there were lots of people who were still unaware of them.
In response to points raised in the discussion, the Chair advised that any further suggested items for future meetings could be emailed to the Environment Panel Inbox after the meeting.
The Chair advised that suggested items would be considered, alongside Officers, for inclusion at future meetings of the Cabinet Panel.
