London's 'greenest' council cutting back on net-zero schemes due to funding pressure (www.standard.co.uk)

submitted 1 day ago by okwithmydecay@leminal.space to c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Islington Council has won praise for its “ambitious” targets to reduce carbon emissions in the borough.

Last year, the borough was ranked the best single-tier local authority in the UK for its actions on climate change, which include decarbonising its waste recycling centre, rolling out electric vehicles and carrying out a social housing retrofit programme.

Now the council plans to pause some of its net-zero schemes it says have been hamstrung by a lack of government funding.
