Making staff redundant who bring grant funding into the council to retrofit homes will leave more people facing fuel poverty.🫰 Net zero is about common-sense solutions: protecting our energy bills, making our communities more resilient. It’s about clean air and a thriving nature for our children."

@essex.gov.uk announced it is scrapping its net zero programmes🌍💔 Our response, quoted in @thetimes.com: "Why would any council want to put the health of children and vulnerable people at risk by scrapping climate action? After a summer of deadly heatwaves and wildfires, that’s irresponsible. 🔥

Walsall Council used their low score in our Action Scorecards as a reason to scrap their #netzero target 😮 We said that's not on, more not less action is needed to cut bills and lessen wild fires in the UK. Link & quote in comments #heatwave #walsall #climateaction

Climate Emergency UK @climateemergencyuk.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

"This council lows in the Scorecards because there hasn't been the political will & national support to take further climate action. This isn't the time to scrap targets. It's time to redouble efforts to cut bills for residents, clean the air and make our local communities stronger and safer." (3/3)

Climate Emergency UK @climateemergencyuk.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Our response "Scrapping climate targets during a 4th major heatwave and as fires rage across the UK & Europe is extreme and yet more virtue signalling." (2/3)

Reform UK wants a local war on net zero – so what’s making some of its brand new councillors more pragmatic?

The populist right-wing party is hoping to use newly gained councils as the vanguard of a crusade against green policies – but, as James Fair writes, Reform UK administrations all across England are…

If you work with UK councils, please help us spread the word. The more councils that take part in Right of Reply, the fairer and more accurate the Scorecards will be for everyone. Can you share this with your networks? @local.gov.uk @transportaction.bsky.social @ashden-org.bsky.social

The Right of Reply for the 2027 Council Climate Action Scorecards is now open (9 July to 27 August). Council officers can see their first mark and question any scores so far. Last year 75% of councils took part, and it made scores fairer and more accurate. councilclimatescorecards.uk @mysociety.org
