WILMINGTON – The City of Wilmington is joining other urban cities across the nation in the fight against climate change by committing to clean energy over the next 30 years.
In March 2020 the city council established the Ad Hoc Clean Energy Policy Task Force to set the path for these green ambitions. Since then, a group of 34 volunteers – made up of residents, business and utility representatives, council appointees and others – have met to conduct research and study best practices.
“As we all begin to have to deal with the impacts from climate change, looking at ways that we can reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and lower our dependence on fossil fuels is going to be increasingly important,” said Wilmington Sustainability Program Manager David Ingram, who led the effort.
Planning applications DEVELOPERS will need to meet a checklist of requirements to build in Winchester city centre under new plans to improve air quality - if city council proposals are backed. From providing cycle storage, not installing open fireplaces and fitting charges for electric cars, developers must satisfy Winchester City Council requirements before any application is approved. The authority is progressing with an Air Quality Supplementary Planning Document which will affect for instance those wanting build more than 10 dwellings or on sites over 0.5 hectares. For those who are building less than 10 homes or on sites smaller than 0.5 hectares will instead have to write an air quality statement.

The decision comes after the tech giant implemented an internal review on its political contributions following the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, which was spurred by unsupported claims from former President Trump and his allies that the 2020 election was rigged in favor of President Biden.

“Following that review, the NetPAC board has decided that it will not be making any contributions this cycle to any member of Congress who voted against certification of the election results,” Google spokesperson José Castañeda told The Hill.
