Reform UK aims to block green energy projects in Lincolnshire, risking £1 billion in investments and over 12,000 jobs. Deputy leader Richard Tice stated they will actively obstruct net zero infrastructure projects, raising concerns from local leaders and MPs. The Labour MP for Great Grimsby emphasized that this opposition endangers the green economy and threatens local employment. Experts noted that while larger solar projects are nationally significant, smaller projects may be subject to local planning decisions, making it easier for Reform-controlled councils to hinder sustainable investments.
"Reform's war on the green economy is actually a war on jobs and investment and flies in the face of what hard-working businesses and families need."
"We will attack, we will hinder, we will delay, we will obstruct, we will put every hurdle in your way. It's going to cost you a fortune, and you're not going to win."
