Sustainable Prosperity and Berkshire Economic Strategy Board

This project will raise the level of understanding and debate amongst councillors and senior officers, with a view to achieving consensus at a sub-regional level about policies that need to be reviewed in order to deliver truly sustainable prosperity. The work programme will focus on NI 185 & 186 CO2 emission reductions and on the work of the Strategic Housing Group.

What did we set out to achieve?

• Deliver improved capacity to respond to the sub-regional economic development agenda
• Agree action plans for NI 185 and 186 CO2 emission reductions
• Provide strategic support via the BESB

What have we achieved so far?

• We have published the following reports:
  • State of the Sub-Region report (January 2008);
  • Sustainable Economic Prosperity Strategy (February 2009);
  • Berkshire Climate Change Audit (March 2009).
• Put in place governance for the sustainable prosperity sub-group
• Agreed a baseline position on NI 185 and 186, and shared this between all six authorities
• Submitted priorities for shared action identified and a low carbon business network proposal to SEEDA/ERDF
• Commissioned feasibility studies to demonstrate local renewable energy generation in urban, rural and transport settings
