Request

I am requesting information relating to carbon offset contributions received by the Council and the allocation of those funds to decarbonisation or environmental projects. 

Please provide the following: 

1.) The total amount of carbon offset contributions received by the Council for each fiscal year from 2022 to the present day. 

2.) A breakdown of how the total offset funds were allocated, including:

- The amount of funds directed to each individual offset project or initiative;

- The exact name of each carbon offsetting initiative or project;

- The location of each initiative, including the most precise geographic information available (e.g. site address, or local authority area). 

For each project identified above, please indicate whether it is: 

a.) Council-led (wholly managed and delivered by the Council); or

b.) Collaborative (delivered in partnership with another local authority, public body, or third-party organisation). If so, please name the partner organisations involved.

Response

Under Section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act, we have established that this information is not held. This is because Dover District Council is not currently involved in any carbon offsetting programmes or received any funding from offsetting programmes.
