Consultation has concluded
Southend City Council is a partner in the INTERREG Cool Towns project, a collaboration between fourteen organisations across the Europe. This includes municipal and regional government, alongside academic and industry partners, working together to promote reduction of urban heat risk, and to help cities to become more resilient to future heat stress.
Among the many well-established forecasts linked to climate change is the likelihood that heat waves in Europe are becoming both more frequent and more intense. This is increasingly recognised in governmental circles; the UK Government published a Heatwave Plan in 2014, and updated it earlier this year; Belgium and The Netherlands have emergency plans in place for tackling heat, and the European Commission has updated its own action planning as well. Local government has an important role to play in understanding, addressing and mitigating the effects of excessive heat, and this strategy sets out Southend-on-Sea City Council’s analysis of the issue and its priorities and proposals for action at the local level.
We have produced an Urban Heat Strategy and would like your views on it and whether you agree with our priorities and aims.
Consultation is open for 6 weeks from 14th February until 5pm 24th March.
