The Leader of Eden District Council, Councillor Virginia Taylor, has this week launched a bold new Zero Carbon Eden strategy.

The Zero Carbon & Biodiversity Strategy (2021 – 2030) sets out six key areas in which the Council can make a substantial difference and ultimately achieve net-zero carbon in the district by 2030.

A spokesperson from Eden District Council said: "Action will be taken to stop habitat and species loss, establish good management of existing habitats, create and redevelop opportunities for key indicator species, and control and manage invasive species and disease in the local fauna and flora."

It is hoped that this will help the district reach their targets.
