CONTENTS
The climate emergency
is, quite rightly, getting
considerable coverage across
the world and any serious attempt to tackle
it will mean everyone contributing. With this
in mind, Ealing Council has started work on
a strategy for the borough after it declared
a climate emergency. Certain work is already
under way and there are also things we can
all do already – whether big or small. We look
at a few of those things in this edition. There
is a lot of other work going on and it will be a
continuing theme in our magazine this year.
You will be able to find two offers for readers:
One for charging electric vehicles (p12) and
another for a free taster session at the new
gym and sports centre which is soon to open
at Gunnersbury Park (p16).
