Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Compliance & Environment Officer together with a thermal imaging camera loan policy.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Compliance & Environment Officer concerning a scheme and policy to loan the Council’s thermal imaging camera to residents.

Members were pleased to see the scheme progressing and were encouraged by the level of interest generated through promotional activities at events throughout the year.

Regarding use by individuals outside Witney, Members agreed that, as the camera was purchased using precepted funds for the benefit of Witney residents, the loan scheme should remain free of charge for parish residents only. Those outside the parish should instead be signposted to the Carbon Zero Hub, which offered a similar service.

Resolved:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the thermal imaging loan scheme and policy free to Witney residents be approved and,

3.      That, residents outside of Witney be directed to the Carbon Zero Hub.
