Comment on this story on the

A group of school children from the Edward Betham CofE Primary School in Greenford went to Downing Street last Thursday (14 October) to present a petition.

The Year 6 pupils went to the door of Number 10 just ahead of the COP26 climate change conference to show the level of support for action on plastic use.

The petition, which they hoped would be handed to the Prime Minister, was about the ocean and climate emergency and was organised by Surfers Against Sewage.

Ealing North MP James Murray was there to meet them and hear about their campaign. He was very impressed by their efforts and added, “Also great they got the chance to see Larry the cat outside No. 10 as they told me they were very much hoping to meet him!”

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.
