• 18 Nov 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  The UNESCO world heritage site has played a big role in making the Ironbridge visitor economy sustainable for years, and it will continue to do so. However, many of the world’s natural and cultural treasures face significant challenges, and the Ironbridge Gorge is no exception. It suffers from ground instability, and more frequent and severe flooding linked to climate change. The council and the Government have made significant investments in stabilisation works over many years, and are working together against the risks of flooding. That includes a recent £700,000 grant from the Government to support the walls of the river, and a £1.2 million grant to protect individual properties.

• 14 Jul 2025: Parliamentary Speech

  Tackling climate change is a top topic among children and young people when I visit schools and colleges across Telford. Switching to renewables is a top topic among employers; it will help to reduce the cost of their energy supply. Renewables companies tell me about the fantastic, well-paid jobs that are available. Climate security, environment security and energy security are national security. Does my right hon. Friend know a single reason why this is not a key mission to rebuild Britain and protect our planet for generations to come?

  11. What steps he is taking to support public sector bodies to decarbonise.

  Full debate: Decarbonisation: Public Sector Bodies

  Decarbonising the public sector is good for our net zero target, but it also releases money for more teachers, nurses and street cleaners, so that savings benefit our communities rather than energy giants. Schools across Telford are crying out for that investment. Will the Minister do all she can to decarbonise the public sector in the years to come?

  We’re another step closer in our journey towards net zero here in Telford and Wrekin. We've reduced carbon emissions in our own operations by 60% since 2019 & we're supporting residents to remove single-use plastics from their activities too.

  We’ve submitted a legal challenge against Steeraway Solar Farm. We support green energy – we’ve got our own solar farm – but not at the expense of our most valuable green space.

  I’ve spoken about my disappointment to allow a further solar farm in the Wellington area. We're one of just a handful of councils to run our own solar farm, but we will not support the production of green energy at the expense of important green spaces: https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/environment/2023/05/11/legal-challenge-sought-over-wellington-solar-farms-double-whammy/?fbclid=IwAR0HmqkxEm7HWJc-IS1YkXsUvpcfFHOlNCBPSta2Oj6ZYL-HhoHY4-Gqf0g [Source]

  26 local organisations will receive up to £10k from our Climate Change Fund meaning they'll be able to carry out carbon reduction projects. This could go towards lowering their energy bills by paying for new energy-saving heating & lighting systems???? http://newsroom.telford.gov.uk/News/Details/16586 https://twitter.com/CllrShaunDavies/status/1603733495460814849/photo/1 [Source]
