'Council does not need a climate emergency'
Leek Post and Times
|October 22, 2025
Reform UK led council has overturned declaration which was made six years ago
A CLIMATE emergency declaration made by Staffordshire County Council six years ago has been overturned by the new elected members representing Reform UK.
The authority was one of several across Staffordshire to declare a climate emergency in 2019, at the time it was under Conservative administration.
Since then work to tackle climate change has seen the county council cut its carbon emissions by more than half. The authority had set a target to reach net zero by 2025.
In May Reform UK took over the administration of the authority, after sweeping to victory in the council elections. At Thursday's full council meeting, elected members backed a motion put forward by Councillor Andrew Mynors to rescind the climate emergency declaration made in July 2019.
