We need to change the rules that slow down #ClimateAction at the local level.

They need to be urgently reformed, giving local councils the powers to put the UK on the path to meeting #NetZero.

@RSNonline @CPRE @EnglishRural & @BritLeadingEdge are calling on the Govt to level up against rural disadvantage with a more strategic approach to the Green Book process.Higher houses prices from lower than average wages puts rural communities at a disadvantage. #ruralfairfunding

We're calling on @RishiSunak @hmtreasury to level up between urban and rural in next week's #Budget2021!
