Farage’s War on Net Zero. Will he force charges on Council, Housing, Housing Associations and Aged Miners Cottages across Durham and Northumberland.

 It's been out on closely linked social media sites to the Tories for a number of months that Northumberland Conservatives had to cajole its elderly members to ensure they could form a slate for the local government elections.

Many of those Conservatives elected on May 1st  have had very poor attendance records over the last four years,  with the Conservative council having to reduce the number of full meetings by 50% and hold very few Committee meetings during harvest and lambing time due to the Council having a number of farmers within their ranks. That was to ensure any attendance from the majority of their members at all with age and occupation driving their local agenda’s. 

Any slip up over the next four years may allow REFORM UK, who are breathing down their necks, to force one of their parties' prime local government policies out onto both Counties unsuspecting public, that of taxing solar power on people's homes.

Northumberland’s residents may have to watch what happens in County Durham as an indicator as Mr Farage wants his new local government power to be used to show the public what he can do to wreck Labour’s Great British Energy policy and its support for modern car manufacture and large data centre’s right in the teeth. Local Solar Power Tax will prove his point.

Over many years the Labour Party across both Council areas aided residents of their Council housing stock to be able to cheapen their living costs through the installation of solar banks on their house roofs. Both council’s also helped their Aged Miners Homes Associations access funding to be able to deliver similar improvements for their tenants, with Housing Associations benefitting from the Council’s draw down of Government grants for social housing to follow suit.

His disparate mix of members in Northumberland and the personal agendas of some may not be able to deliver his wishes but by forcing in a REFORM UK manifesto policy in Durham through their new hold on the Council which affects ordinary people will certainly run out the fear element enough to show the public nationally that they can be expected to deliver on their manifesto promises, which in the main, help city investors more than ordinary folk.
