Westminster should get out of the way of local government if it is not willing to “step up” and deliver net zero, campaigners have said.

In a report published on Tuesday, net zero tsar Chris Skidmore and Tees Valley Mayor Lord Houchen called on the Government to introduce a string of measures to help local authorities “forge ahead” on cutting carbon emissions.
