[Do you fully support the UK’s commitment to reaching net zero by 2050?] I support the goal of reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change, but I believe we must approach the 2050 net zero target with honesty and realism. As Kemi Badenoch has rightly pointed out, achieving net zero by 2050 is impossible without either dramatically lowering living standards or placing an unsustainable burden on public finances. We need to be clear-eyed about the costs and trade-offs, and ensure that our climate policies are driven by what is practical and fair – not by arbitrary timelines that could do more harm than good.

[Do you fully support the setting of strong local carbon targets, and will you work to ensure the council makes progress towards them if you are elected?] I’m in favour of local councils taking responsible action to reduce emissions where possible – but I also believe there needs to be a clear separation between climate strategy and the bead-and-butter issues that councils are elected to fix. For me, priorities like repairing roads, tackling speeding, and keeping our streets free of litter will always come first. You can’t tidy the world before you tidy your own home, and local residents rightly expect us to focus on the basics.

That said, I’m personally active in cleaning up our environment. I regularly take part in local litter picking and community clean-up efforts, not as a political gesture but because I believe in taking pride in where we live. Environmental stewardship starts at street level, and we can all play a role in improving our surroundings.


[Is there anything else that you want me to know about your position on climate change and net zero?] I believe in responsible environmentalism that doesn’t compromise common sense or economic security. Innovation, cleaner energy, and efficiency all have an important part to play – but top-down targets without regard for local realities risk undermining public support for climate action altogether. As a councillor, my focus will be on delivering for residents in tangible, practical ways while supporting sensible environmental improvements that make our communities cleaner, safer, and more resilient.
