Liverpool City Region’s Metro Mayor has urged the government to rethink a roll-back of its major green policies.

Mr Rotheram said: “I am concerned that, should your government’s backsliding continue, it threatens to undo much of the progress our area has made locally. This is before we even consider the moral case for net zero - saving the very planet we live on.
