On July 27 North of Tyne Combined Authority (NTCA) Cabinet received the report of the Citizens’ Assembly and endorsed the Assembly’s collective statement which set out the need for urgent action.
Cabinet thanked all those who participated in the Citizens’ Assembly and endorsed the Assembly’s collective statement which set out the need for urgent action. Cabinet has endorsed the collaboration between NTCA and the three constituent Local Authorities to:
- Jointly respond to the recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly
- Jointly develop project proposals where the recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly provided clear opportunities to add value, scale up, or enhance the work currently underway through the NTCA Energy, Green Growth and Climate Change Blueprint and Local Authority Climate Emergency plans.
A paper will be taken to Cabinet in the Autumn which provide further detail on how NTCA intends to work with the three constituent Local Authorities and wider regional stakeholders to respond to the recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly.
