C.        CLIMATE EMERGENCY

Motion on behalf of the Reform UK Havering Group

This Council notes that the previous administration declared a Climate Emergency.

This Council recognises that environmental stewardship remains an important responsibility of local government, particularly in relation to clean streets, green spaces, waste management, public realm and the responsible use of Council resources.

However, this Council notes that the framing of local environmental policy through a Climate Emergency declaration can create a policy direction that is disproportionate, financially burdensome and insufficiently balanced against the Council's wider responsibilities, including affordability for residents, support for local businesses, value for money, statutory service delivery and the Council's overall financial resilience.

This Council should not pursue environmental or net zero-related policies in a way that places unnecessary cost, restriction, or pressure on residents, motorists, businesses, or essential Council services.

The Council therefore resolves:

1.    ?To rescind the Council's previous Climate Emergency declaration.

2.    ?To request that officers identify any Council strategies, plans, targets, reporting arrangements, decision-making frameworks, workstreams, or budgetary provisions that are directly dependent upon or materially shaped by the previous Climate Emergency declaration or any non-statutory net zero-related ambitions.

3.    ?To ensure that future environmental activity is considered through a balanced framework based on affordability, value for money, statutory responsibility, deliverability, resident impact, and local environmental benefit.

4.    ?To reaffirm that the Council may continue to pursue sensible and practical environmental improvements where these are proportionate, evidence-based, financially responsible, and aligned with the needs and priorities of Havering residents.

5.    To request that any required amendments to Council policy, strategy, reporting, or governance arrangements arising from this motion are brought forward through the appropriate constitutional and decision-making processes.

(Received 6/7/26, 12:36)

Amendment on behalf of the Havering Aligned Residents’ Associations Group

(Proposed additional or revised text underlined for clarity)

This Council notes that the previous administration declared a Climate Emergency.

This Council recognises that environmental stewardship remains an important responsibility of local government, particularly in relation to clean streets, green spaces, waste management, public realm, negating fuel poverty, energy efficiency  and the responsible use of Council resources.

This Council notes that the framing of local environmental policy through a Climate Emergency declaration can create a policy direction that requires affordability for residents, support for local businesses, value for money, statutory service delivery and the Council's overall financial resilience.

This Council should pursue environmental or net zero-related policies that take into consideration unnecessary costs, restriction, or pressure on residents, motorists, businesses, or essential Council services. The Council therefore resolves:

1.         To review the Council's Climate Emergency Strategy.

2.         To ensure that future environmental activity is considered through a balanced framework based on affordability, value for money, statutory responsibility, deliverability, impact, and local environmental benefit.

3.         To review all grant opportunities available to the Council for environmental improvements.

4.         To reaffirm that the Council will continue to pursue sensible and practical environmental improvements where these are proportionate, evidence-based, financially responsible, and aligned with the needs and priorities of Havering residents.

5.         To request that any required amendments to Council policy, strategy, reporting, or governance arrangements arising from this motion are brought forward through the appropriate constitutional and decision-making processes.

D.        ULEZ ISSUES

Motion on behalf of the Reform UK Havering Group

This Council recognises the importance of improving air quality across London and supports evidence-based measures aimed at reducing harmful emissions and protecting public health.

However, this Council further recognises that outer London boroughs such as Havering face unique transport challenges, including higher levels of car dependency, fewer public transport alternatives in certain areas, and greater reliance on vehicles by tradespeople, carers, small businesses, and working residents.

This Council notes growing public concern regarding the lack of transparency surrounding:

1.    the amount of ULEZ revenue generated from Havering residents;

2.    ?the level of Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) revenue collected within Havering;

3.    ?the proportion of ULEZ-related funding reinvested directly into Havering; and

4.    ?the absence of publicly available borough-by-borough financial breakdowns.

This Council therefore calls upon the Mayor of London and Transport for London to:

1.     ?Provide greater transparency regarding ULEZ revenue collection, enforcement income, and borough-level reinvestment.

2.    ?Publish a full breakdown of:

•?  ?ULEZ revenue generated by Borough;

•?  ?PCN revenue generated by Borough;

•?  ?scrappage funding allocated by Borough; and

•?  ?transport and environmental reinvestment by Borough.

3.    Allocate a fairer share of ULEZ-related funding directly into Havering to support:

•?  ?Local pollution reduction initiatives;

•?  ?transport improvements;

•?  ?electric vehicle infrastructure;

•?  ?cleaner buses and community transport;

•?  ?anti-idling measures near schools;

•?  ?tree planting and green infrastructure; and

•?  ?assistance for residents and businesses impacted by the scheme.

4.    ?Work collaboratively with Havering Council to identify targeted local environmental projects that reflect the transport realities of outer London communities.

5.    the absence of publicly available borough-by-borough emissions data.

6.    the absence of consideration given to the impact of the M25 and the A127 on Havering’s air quality.

This Council therefore calls upon the Mayor of London and Transport for London to:

1.    Provide greater transparency regarding ULEZ revenue collection, enforcement income, and borough-level reinvestment.

2.    Publish a full breakdown of: • ULEZ revenue generated by Borough; • PCN revenue generated by Borough; • scrappage funding allocated by Borough; and • transport and environmental reinvestment by Borough.

3.    Allocate a fairer share of ULEZ-related funding directly into Havering to support: • Local pollution reduction initiatives; • transport improvements; • electric vehicle infrastructure; • cleaner buses and community transport; • anti-idling measures near schools; • tree planting and green infrastructure; and • assistance for residents and businesses impacted by the scheme.

4.    Work collaboratively with Havering Council to identify emission data explicitly relating to the borough.

5.    Work collaboratively with Havering Council to identify emission impact localities that cannot be influenced by the Council, and should not be considered as part of the Councils data sets.

6.    Work collaboratively with Havering Council to identify targeted local environmental projects that reflect the transport realities of outer London communities.
