Essex County Council have withdrawn the backing of green initiatives after Reform UK vowed to ditch net zero policies when it took over in May, reports the BBC.
The council say it could save the taxpayer almost £3 million.
Cutbacks include no longer electrifying its vehicle fleet, removing a requirement to consider the climate in new contracts, not applying for net-zero grants and no longer producing an annual climate report.
The council will also reduce activities with schools that encourage active travel by using external funding that is yet to be secured.
