Our open letter to Brent Council re expanding active travel in Brent:
To: Chief Executive Carolyn Downs
CC: Councillor Muhammed Butt, Councillor Krupesh Hirani, Assistant Chief Executive Shazzia Hussain,
These are unsettling times for us all, particularly the most vulnerable in our society. The most important thing you can do right now is to keep yourself, and the wider community, safe. If we are to be effective climate activists in the future, we need to look after our physical and mental wellbeing now.
Friends of the Earth Press Release:
Will Rundle, head of legal at Friends of the Earth, said “This ruling is an absolutely ground-breaking result for climate justice. We were fighting a project that would have had dire implications for present and future generations.”
