County Hall in Trowbridge Photo Trevor Porter Addressing the climate crisis is to be a “critically important” goal for Wiltshire Council moving forward. Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Ian Thorn, asked the council’s leader why he did not take the climate portfolio with him into the leadership position. Richard Clewer, the new leader of Wiltshire Council said the climate emergency was vital to the administration – particularly in regards to decarbonisation. “Is there the danger, that having left it in the hands of another member of cabinet, that it rather downgrades the issue?” Cllr Thorn asked. Cllr Clewer disagreed with the point and said the county’s climate plan needed to link in with other areas such as the local and transport plans.
