  • Telford & Wrekin Council
    TELFORD & WREKIN COUNCIL West Midlands Property Alliance Using assets for growth Introduction Background Telford and Wrekin is a unitary district with borough status in the West Midlands. The district was created in 1974 as The Wrekin, then a non-metropolitan district of Shropshire. In 1998 the district became a unitary authority and was renamed Telford and Wrekin. It remains part of the Shropshire ceremonial county and shares institutions such as the Fire and Rescue Service with the rest of Shropshire. The borough’s major settlement is Telford, a new town designated in the 1960s incorporating the existing towns of Dawley, Madeley, Oakengates and Wellington. Telford was a new town run by the Telford Development Corporation (TDC) from the 1960s to the changes in 1974. Telford is located in central England with excellent connectivity by road and rail to Birmingham, Manchester, London and other centres. This connectivity includes an international railfreight park serving businesses looking to move goods across the UK and to air and sea ports. The population of the borough is 173,000 set to rise to 200,000 by 2030. The town was designed to accommodate a population of 200,000 and so has the necessary space and infrastructure for a growth area. Telford is home to more than 5,000 companies of which 150 are international. It has a strong automotive and engineering base as well as a broad range of other companies. There is a ready workforce of 350,000 within a 30 minute drive of Telford. Situated just 12 miles from the new Jaguar Landrover plant at i54 Telford is well placed to capitalise on supply chain opportunities.

  • Climate Action Plan and Project Pipeline 2020 the Following Table Is a Selection of Actions Drawn from Multiple Sources Including the Public Event in February 2020
    Shropshire Council Corporate Climate Action Plan and Project Pipeline Climate Action Plan and Project Pipeline 2020 The following table is a selection of actions drawn from multiple sources including the public event in February 2020. The full list has been summarised to include only those that Shropshire Council are able to take on. It focusses on those actions that are likely to reduce the Council’s own emissions – including indirect (Scope 3) emissions – rather than Council led actions that help reduce the emissions of Shropshire businesses or residents. Actions that help sequester carbon are included. This list is a work in progress. Formal approval under the Council’s Capital Programme will be pursued where projects will be appraised on an individual basis following the process detailed in the Council’s Capital Strategy. Each potential action would need to be evaluated on its own merits prior to inclusion in the Capital Programme. Some projects delivered in partnership with others may lead to commercial income being generated. Updates will be made at monthly internal Climate Officers Group meetings. The first table lists active projects that are already underway as part of a ‘Project Pipeline’ and the second table identifies a range of potential actions that could be undertaken subject to satisfactory feasibility assessment. 1.
