ABSTRACT
Woking Borough Council in the South-East region of the United Kingdom UK has long been committed to protecting the environment and it is explicitly stated as one of its top-three priorities. Achievement of an integrated and sustainable community is the major challenge for Woking Borough Council. The Council's Executive is made up of seven councillors and meets twelve times a year. The Council has been awarded Beacon Council status for Sustainable Energy, Promoting Sustainable Communities through the Planning Process and for Tackling Climate Change. Woking Borough Council has established a role as a strong community leader that sets the very highest standards in energy efficiency and tackling climate change. Thameswey Energy Ltd (TEL) has continued to deliver a range of sustainable and renewable energy projects in order to meet the Council's Climate Strategy ambitions. TEL can provide local sustainable energy services to other local authorities, public bodies and the private sector both within and outside Woking.
