The deadline for DEFRA’s Public Consultation on Domestic Solid Fuel Emissions is approaching on March 19th 2026. It is imperative that our industry mobilises to ensure our views are fully represented and that policy decisions are not skewed by groups such as Mums for Lungs and Global Action Plan etc.
