Reform administration Global Warming

Request

Q1) Since the election of the council's Reform administration in May, I would like to know therefore whether officers have been subsequently instructed not to use the phrase "climate change", "global warming" or "net zero". If instructions or guidance were issued to officers on what language they should use when talking or writing about the environment, since Reform took control of the council, I would like to be provided with a copy of that guidance/instructions.

Decision

 

1. We can confirm that Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) do not hold any recorded information on the question, no instructions or guidance has been issued to officers and no request for officers to tailor language in respect of climate change, global warming or net zero has been made; LCC therefore submit a nil return to the request.
