That the Parliament commends South Lanarkshire Council for achieving energy savings and avoiding energy costs of over £1 million over two years; celebrates the resulting reduction in carbon emissions; understands that these savings were achieved through no or low-cost, climate-friendly adjustments to heating and building controls across the council’s property estate; welcomes the increased availability of funding for frontline services as a result, and encourages other local authorities to follow South Lanarkshire Council's example in reducing costs and climate emissions, particularly in light of projected energy price rises.
