A former Lancing parish councillor dismissed for poor attendance has hit out at the council over its declaration of a climate emergency.

Gina Scotting, who represented Mash Barn ward, was removed from Lancing Parish Council on Saturday (November 23), alongside councillor Carol Albury, after failing to attend meetings for six months.

The ex-councillor has accused councillors of rushing through the agenda in May this year to declare a climate emergency, in which the parish council pledged to become carbon neutral by 2030.
