Summary of candidate stance:

Fully supports the UK’s commitment to reaching net zero by 2050. “I also believe that we need to make sure it is a just transition that doesn’t leave our communities or our industries behind. We need to make sure that there is resilience that supports our people and our country.” Fully supports the setting of strong local carbon targets, and will work to ensure the council makes progress towards them if elected. “As a North Herts District Councillor, I have been part of an administration that has declared climate and ecological emergencies. Within my role, I have backed initiatives and projects throughout the council’s work to establish carbon targets, tackle pollution, and ensure that we mitigate environmental issues. I want to see Hertfordshire County Council achieve the same goals across the county. This is another area that can greatly benefit our local communities and industries by tackling environmental issues that directly (as well as indirectly) affect residents and by bringing business and employment opportunities to Hertfordshire.” “Climate change is an existential issue that we all need to face up to. It affects us in huge fundamental ways, such as in food production, extreme weather events, and mortalities caused by extreme heat and cold, and in smaller ways that affect mundane aspects of our lives. It is absolutely vital that Local Authorities fully take account of the effect that decisions have on our environment when making policy and commissioning work.”

Summary of candidate stance

Fully supports net zero by 2050. “Certainly and we should be making as much progress towards this as early as possible. The UK should not allow decisions by climate change deniers such as Donald Trump to weaken its commitment to achieving net zero by 2050.” Fully supports the setting of strong local carbon targets, and will work to ensure the council makes progress towards them if elected. “Whilst Herts County Council has set targets both for its own carbon emissions and for those of Hertfordshire it is currently on target to fail to meet these. Despite the constraints imposed by government it should be ramping up its efforts to ensure that it meets net zero for its own operations by 2030.” “I was for five years the cabinet member responsible for climate change at North Herts Council and a member of the Herts Climate Change and Sustainability Partnership. For some of this time I was also the opposition spokesperson on environment at Herts County Council. In both roles I have argued that in addition to reducing their own emissions councils have an important role to play in setting policies that will enable citizens and businesses to reduce their emissions and in providing community leadership to encourage people to reduce their own carbon emissions. The Liberal Democrat manifesto for the Herts County Council elections in May will include a commitment to deliver effectively on these objectives.”
