We are keen for green technology, jobs, and transformation to come to Hornchurch and Upminster under the Government’s drive to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. We are delighted that:

• The UK is co-hosting the COP26 in Glasgow in November, bringing parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
• The Government has announced its approval of the Thames freeport bid, which will be an automotive hub focussed on developing electric and autonomous vehicles.
• The Thames Chase Trust, which includes Upminster’s Thames Chase Community Forest, has been designated one of ten community forests to receive funding from the Trees for Climate scheme to help restore lost and natural landscapes.
