Issue details

In February 2022, Cabinet approved a budget to support the decarbonisation of the Council’s corporate estate.

In November 2024, the Council applied to the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS4) Phase 4. In March 2025, it was confirmed that the Council was successful in its application to fund the decarbonisation of the following 3 buildings.

·       Swinton Community Centre and Library

·       Springwell gardens Community Centre

·       115 Middle Lane South

A decision is therefore anticipated to approve the next phase of the Councils decarbonisation programme including:

1.    the use of external Capital funds alongside Council Capital match funding of approximately £335K

2.    to undertake a procurement to deliver the works associated with this scheme.

3.    the delivery of the works on the abovementioned 3 properties and an additional small site which is ineligible for PSDS funding, Peacock Lodge Children’s home.
