A Reform UK councillor's attempt to scrap his authority's climate emergency status has been rejected days after the debate was postponed due to the heat.

Austen Moore urged the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk to abandon the climate emergency it declared in 2021 and replace it with a "resilience strategy" focused on flooding, drainage and protecting farmland.

The motion was due to be debated at a full meeting of the Independent Partnership-led council at King's Lynn Town Hall on 25 June, but the building was deemed unfit to host it in the heatwave.
