Cllr Emma Hampton, cabinet member for climate change, says:

"The council understands it has a key role to play in tackling the climate crisis, both in reducing our own impact, but also acting as a leader for the city. I’m proud of the ambitious actions we have taken as a council to cut carbon emissions and to see a two thirds reduction is really encouraging.

But we can’t be complacent and will need a clear blueprint for the city council reach net zero emissions by 2030. I look forward to sharing our updated plan soon."

THANK YOU to everyone who voted Labour on Thursday, who stood as a Labour candidate or supported our campaign in any way.

🌹 We made Labour gains in Norwich North, on Broadland District Council, brining our total number of councillors on this formerly Tory-led authority to eight and tipping it into no overall control for the first time in over 20 years

🌹 Labour received the most votes in the Norwich City Council elections, and remains in majority control of the council

🌹 Labour is now the largest Party in local government in the UK

Commiserations to our hard-working candidates who didn’t get elected this time. We’ll continue to take on the Tories in Norwich North and fight for a fairer, greener city.
