The clouncil are also investing in more cycle lanes along major highways, introducing low traffic neighbourhoods to the borough, and providing grants for residents and businesses to invest in electric vehicles. The council also provides information on where electric vehicles can be charged in the area and contact details for the sustainable transport team. There is also a dedicated page about how residents can better reduce, reuse and recycle their waste in order of priority with tips on how to achieve these aims. For example, consciously reducing the amount of single use items and packaging by meal planning, making packed lunches in reusable containers and shopping in store rather than online to reduce packaging.
