Sheffield Council ‘up against the clock’ on zero carbon plans
Councillor Mark Jones, cabinet member for environment and climate change, said during a full council meeting: “We do not currently have an action plan and that is regrettable, I’ll be honest with you.
“I’d rather we were further ahead in the process, we are up against the clock, every delay is critical. I’m not going to pretend we are where we want to be.

Officers are working hard on this and I hope to get back to you very shortly. If it takes three months I’ll be very disappointed and I’m happy to come here and answer for that if that is the case.”
It followed a question by Coun Alison Teal who pointed out the council said in February they would have an action plan to achieve carbon neutral by 2030 within six months. It has now been eight months since then.
