Council rescinds climate change emergency declaration

Kent County Council has rescinded its declaration of a climate emergency.

The motion was proposed by Reform UK members after the party took control in May’s local elections.

Protesters from both sides of the debate gathered outside County Hall in Maidstone on Thursday, leading to a short confrontation between members of the two groups.

The motion, which was passed by 50 votes to 21, with three abstentions, means the council will no longer have to consider net zero ambitions when making decisions.
