Local leaders express serious concern over reported plans to abandon the Clean Heat Market Mechanism intended to boost the uptake of low-carbon heating systems like heat pumps.

Rural cross-party leaders from Wiltshire and The Cotswolds warn dropping the policy could reduce incentives for industry investment and undermine local climate action.

UK100's Chief Executive argues abandoning the mechanism risks sending mixed signals on the government's commitment to low-carbon heat and undercutting local authorities' emissions reduction plans.
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 writes to the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities with recommendations for the National Planning Policy Framework to address the climate and ecological emergency, seize the economic opportunities that the transition to Net Zero presents and build communities and infrastructure resilient to the worst impacts of climate change.
