Lucie Heath
Summary
Reform-led councils in England are scrapping net-zero targets and reversing climate-related policies, including plans for electric vehicles, solar panels, and cycle lanes. Following local election success where Reform became the largest party in 32 councils, newly elected councils like Essex and Norfolk have taken immediate action by reversing climate targets and investigating spending on green projects. This signals how a potential Reform national government could approach environmental policies.
