Oxford City Council declared a climate emergency in 2019 and organised a Citizen’s Assembly on Climate Change. The City Council has since committed to achieve net zero emissions across its estate and operations by 2030.

The 4th Carbon Management Plan (CMP) sets out the steps the Council will take to achieve this 2030 target, which equates to an approximate doubling of previous rates of carbon reduction, from 5% to 10% per year.

The CMP identified the need for the Council to produce a Heat Decarbonisation Plan (HDP) for large emitting sites. The purpose of a HDP is to provide a clear roadmap to decarbonisation as well as fully costed, detailed assessments for future funding and budget bids.

To award of a contract to Faithful & Gould to provide Heat Decarbonisation Plans for the Town Hall, St Aldates Chambers and Barton Neighbourhood Centre, to be completed by 31^st March 2022.
