UK100 responds to the climate and local government measures (or lack thereof) announced in the King's Speech on Tuesday, 7 November.

UK100 responds to the Prime Minister's "plan for motorists" announcement which evoked conspiracy theories and included proposals to strip local authorities of their powers to create safer streets.

UK100 responds to the Prime Minister's announcement that the Government plans to row back on several key Net Zero policies.

Short-term competitive funding for local authorities is hampering clean air action across the UK, local leaders told MPs at an Environmental Audit Committee hearing on outdoor and indoor air quality targets on Wednesday, 6 September.

UK100 is claiming a "win" in response to news that Peers in the House of Lords backed Amendment 191 to the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill by 182 votes to 172 on Monday night.

Christopher Hammond, Membership Director and former leader of Southampton City Council, appointed new UK100 Chief Executive.

Founder and former Chief Executive, Polly Billington, has stepped down to campaign as the parliamentary candidate for the new seat of East Thanet.

Christopher Hammond calls for a “paradigm shift away from centralised decision-making”.

UK100 welcomes the Climate Change Committee’s (CCC) new report, “Progress in reducing emissions 2023 Report to Parliament”. The report underscores the pivotal role local authorities play in the transition to Net Zero, mirroring UK100’s recent “Powers in Place: The handbook of local authority Net Zero powers” report.

UK100's Interim Chief Executive, Jason Torrance, responds to the Government’s new air quality strategy, and the associated 10-day consultation.

On ’Green Day’ we hoped to see a plan for Net Zero delivery that understands, as the Government’s Independent Mission Zero report did, that local authorities are the key to achieving Net Zero in the UK. Our hopes, however, have been dashed on the ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams.’ Today’s announcements fall far short of unlocking the ambition and ability within local government to go further and faster in delivering Net Zero.

Responding to the Spring Budget, UK100 welcomes the short-term energy bill relief but reiterates its call for a long-term solution, targeted at the most vulnerable.
