The Board considered a report detailing the impact of COVID 19 lockdown on air quality in Carmarthenshire.
Lockdown resulted in a drastic reduction of road vehicle moment and an improvement in air quality.
UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED to:
7.1 Commit to discourage non-essential journeys under the ‘new normal’ arrangements by expanding on current policies relating to home and agile working, when the work can be done effectively either at home or at a closer more convenient office base.
7.2 Encourage staff to consider using non-travel related digital techniques as a preferred first option (where possible) for meetings and training purposes.
