🌿 A Very Interesting Site Meeting on the Kent Downs yesterday! 🌿From @therealdavidwi1 I spent the day with the fantastic team from the Kent Downs National Landscape — an independent organisation, part-funded and supported by Kent County Council — seeing first-hand the incredible work they do protecting and enhancing one of our county’s greatest assets. Along with Dean Burns Here’s the most interesting part… Despite what some might claim, rescinding the so-called “climate emergency” will make absolutely no difference to their delivery. In fact, it means KCC can help them more effectively by cutting through layers of red tape and focusing on practical environmental outcomes rather than political posturing. Such a shame that our own FHDC continues to pursue this unachievable “net zero” crusade, burning through your council tax in the process. I’d love to know just how much the Green–Liberal alliance has already spent chasing something that simply cannot be achieved in the real world. Real progress comes from action on the ground, not slogans in a motion. #KentDowns #KCC #Environment #CommonSense #KentCountryside #RealActionNotPosturing
