Children have been at the forefront of demands for action on climate change and today youngsters from the borough will going to the Council's York House.

This morning – Wednesday - primary school children will be learning more about the issues while secondary school students will participate this afternoon.

The events are part of a week-long series of debates and demonstrations organised by the Council and the environment group Habitats & Heritage.

Earlier this week, residents have been offered help and advice on reducing food waste and cutting energy bills.

The borough has many prestige period properties which might be impacted by climate change for example from subsidence, flooding or extreme weather. Tomorrow there will be an online event to show how heritage properties and homes can be protected.

Alongside this, tomorrow morning there will be a Marble Hill Park Heritage Landscape Tour for residents interested in the impact of climate change on our heritage buildings.

Concerns about a greater risk of flooding around the banks of the Thames is being partially addressed by the Rewilding Arcadia Project. This envisages allowing certain areas to flood more often.

There will be an online event tomorrow evening led by the Thames Landscape Strategy to explain the risks and what action is being taken.
