The Green Party has urged Worthing councillors to go beyond ‘business as usual’ in declaring a climate emergency.

At a joint strategic committee meeting last Tuesday (July 9), councillors pledged to set out a plan to become carbon neutral by 2030.

But Worthing’s Green Party has gained more than 1,000 signatures on a petition calling for more ambitious action, to be presented at a Worthing town hall demonstration on Tuesday (July 23).

It will be presented by Jo Paul, the party’s prospective parliamentary candidate for Worthing, who said preventing climate change must be the top priority.

“Other concerns have to take a back seat,” she said.
