The road to transport decarbonisation and the legacy it will leave
Much attention is given to the nationwide transition to electric vehicles (EVs) due to its important position within the Government’s Net Zero Strategy. Some progress has been made; the UK Climate Change Committee’s most recent progress report found that purchases of EVs more than doubled between 2020 and 2021. However, we are currently forecast to only reach 36% of private vehicles being EV by 2030 when the Government ban on the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles commences. There are still barriers to overcome with a lack of public charging infrastructure a key concern for would be EV adopters, particularly those without access to off-street parking. Despite this, the pace of change across the UK is encouraging.

At the last election, voters in Bridgend put their trust in me and the Conservative Party after three decades of Labour dominance. We promised to deliver Brexit and then use the freedoms won to bring real change to our communities. Restoring our steel industry with support for green steel is a clear way for our party to repay that promise.

Cutting red tape for train firms will help decarbonise our railways
Great herds of world leaders, climate change activists and media crews are all converging on Glasgow at the COP26 climate summit, like one of nature’s great animal migrations, to try to save the planet. There will be lofty speeches, lots of scrutiny of who emits the most carbon on their trip, and a fair bit of finger-pointing at people who don’t practice what they preach – or are full of hot air.
