The On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS) is available to all UK local authorities, including those with rural areas, to\u202fapply to\u202fand provide public chargepoints for their residents without access to private parking. £20 million is available in 2021-22.<\/p>
<\/p>
More broadly, the Government has committed over £1.3 billion for charging infrastructure. This funding includes\u202fthe Local EV Infrastructure Fund, which will be opened to English local authorities next year. This fund will facilitate the roll-out of larger scale charging infrastructure projects across the country.<\/p>
<\/p>
To support local authorities in accessing this financial support and developing EV chargepoint strategies,\u202fDfT\u202ffunds Energy Saving Trust to offer expert advice. Energy Saving Trust, in partnership with\u202fDfT, also hosts a library of webinars and guidance for\u202flocal\u202fauthorities on installing charging points. This includes webinars specifically for rural local authorities.<\/p>
<\/p>
Later this year the Government will publish the EV Infrastructure Strategy which will\u202fdefine our vision for the continued roll-out of a world-leading charging infrastructure network across the whole of the UK, including rural areas. It will also set out roles and responsibilities for ensuring charging infrastructure rollout is delivered at the pace needed to transition to a zero-emission car and van fleet.<\/p>"}

The Government is investing an unprecedented £5.1 billion to fund the cost of replacing unsafe cladding for leaseholders in residential buildings 18 metres and over in England. The fire risk is lower in buildings under 18 metres and costly remediation work is usually not needed. Where fire risks are identified, they should always be managed proportionately. The new Secretary of State is looking closely at this issue to make sure everything is being done to support leaseholders.<\/p>

The Government's England Trees Action Plan (ETAP) was published on 18 May 2021 and outlines the actions we are taking to increase the use of timber in construction, where it is safe to do so. This builds on commitments in the 25 Year Environment Plan and Clean Growth Strategy.
The Net Zero Strategy published on 19 October 2021 sets out the important role which timber and other sustainable construction materials will play in meeting our net zero targets. Guided by market analysis, fire safety and structural considerations, key opportunities for the safe growth of timber use will be in low-rise buildings using traditional and certain modern methods of construction, and in a wide range of commercial and non-residential settings.
We are working with key construction stakeholders to develop a policy roadmap on the use of timber in construction.<\/p>"}

The UK has a strong record on reducing emissions from methane, one of the main greenhouses gases warming our planet, with around 60% of methane emissions cut across the waste, energy and agricultural sectors compared with 1990 levels. Moreover, as announced at COP26, the UK is proud to be one of the first signatories of the The Global Methane Pledge, a commitment to take voluntary actions to reduce global methane emissions by at least 30% by 2030, against 2020 levels.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government\u2019s recently published Net Zero Strategy sets out our plans to reduce all greenhouse gas emissions, including a range of policies and actions further to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (including methane) from agriculture.<\/p>
<\/p>
For example, ruminant livestock are the leading cause of agriculture methane emissions, but feed additives with methane inhibiting properties have the potential to reduce emissions, especially from housed cattle. Whilst this is an emerging technology, the Government is actively investigating the promising role these products may have in delivering emissions savings in the medium term.<\/p>
<\/p>
An application for a promising feed additive is currently being processed by both the Food Standards Agency and Food Standards Scotland. The application has been formally validated and will now be subject to a robust risk assessment as part of the regulated products process.<\/p>
More broadly the Government will support the agricultural sector to decarbonise through the schemes set out in the Agricultural Transition Plan, which aims to support farmers to adopt low greenhouse gas emission farming practices and increase the carbon stored on their farms, helping to improve business productivity and profitability gains.<\/p>

This guidance stresses the importance of practical steps such as opening windows and doors; making sure small vents or grilles are open and not blocked; and ensuring that any mechanical ventilation system is working and maintained in line with manufacturers\u2019 instructions. Ventilation systems should bring fresh air in and not recirculate indoor air. In workplaces and non-domestic settings, ventilation should be considered alongside other control measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19.<\/p>"}
