Public Questions to the Council To receive questions from members of the public in accordance with Standing Order No. 12.
Question submitted by Karl Deakin on behalf of Plastic Free Chesterfield:
It is now a year since the Council passed a motion seeking to remove single use plastic from council operations by 2023. This commitment fits hand in glove with the Council’s Climate Change Action Plan. Plastics begin their existence as fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases are then emitted when the fossil fuels are extracted and when they are refined and made into plastic. If plastic use were a country, it would be the fifth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world (accounting for 3.8% of all emissions).
Question submitted by Paul Christopher Stone:
Facing such turbulent times as we do, in today's world. Where is that red line for Councillors and the Council when implementing Government policies?
When do you say, this has gone too far, this is damaging Chesterfield and the People of Chesterfield?

Questions under Standing Order No. 19 To receive questions from Councillors in accordance with Standing Order No.19.
Question submitted by Councillor Fordham:
“To ask where a family or resident in the Borough experiences a serious fire, resulting in loss of home what supporting measures are in place for the Borough as our planned emergency response? Given the fire that occurred in Brockwell two years ago, when the Fire Brigade did not notify the Council of the incident, what changes have been made to local partnerships to ensure we provide the necessary support.”
Question submitted by Councillor Fordham:
“To ask how many people who are single occupancy tenants with the Borough have died in Council owned accommodation over the last four years and what support measures have been put in place to support the family and neighbours? And whether these measures are in need of review and might be made more supportive and understanding of the trauma of such situations for those affected?”
Question submitted by Councillor Kelly:
“On 30th July 2019 Chesterfield Borough Council wrote to Cllr J Perkins, the then Chair of the Derbyshire Pension Fund to advise that the following motion was passed by the full Council meeting of Chesterfield Borough Council on 15 July, 2020:
“Having declared a Climate Emergency Chesterfield Borough Council commits with the Derbyshire Pensioners Group, Transition Chesterfield, Friends of The Earth and Divest Derbyshire in calling for the Derbyshire Pension Fund to disinvest its remaining funds in fossil fuels and to invest in renewables.
In addition, we are calling for Derbyshire Pension Fund to strengthen engagement regarding future investment principles with all stakeholders including pension fund members and employers.”
Cllr Perkins replied informing the Council that it was the Pension Fund’s intention to develop a climate change policy. I note that this has now been adopted and published on the Derbyshire Pensions Fund website.
Have we (Chesterfield Borough Council) had an update from Derbyshire Pension Fund on the progress they are making with implementing the policy? I am sure that our employees who are members of the fund will be keen to know.”
