29.	Public Questions to the Council To receive questions from members of the public in accordance with Standing Order No. 12. Question submitted by Plastic Free Chesterfield: “The newly formed group, ‘Plastic Free Chesterfield’, which is part of the larger group ‘Surfers Against Sewage’, is aiming to reduce the avoidable use of single use plastic. We feel that as Chesterfield Borough Council has declared a Climate Emergency it is vitally important that the Council addresses the issue of avoidable single use plastic. At a recent event we found the public overwhelmingly in support of our aims. We therefore ask what action the Council is taking or proposing to take in respect of the following aspects: · What actions has the Council taken to date to reduce its own use of single use plastic and what plans are in place to change to more sustainable solutions; · Acting as an exemplar; encouraging all local businesses to avoid the use of single use plastic where possible; · Providing better information for residents as to how they can consider ‘Refuse Reduce Re-use Recyle’ in relation to their plastic use, e.g. clearer promotion of alternatives to single use plastic or recycling facilities.” Question submitted by Daniel Botham: "Climate change is only one of the many challenges we are facing, another big challenge is loss of biodiversity. What strategies does the Council have for protecting and increasing biodiversity in the borough?” Minutes: View the minutes text for item 29.
