Congratulations to William Byrd School

Well done William Byrd School in Harlington! The school successfully applied for an EDF Energy Green Fund to help them install a solar thermal pool heating system, and received £30,000 to help them install the environmentally friendly setup.

Congratulations William Byrd School for improving your facilities in such an environmentally friendly way.

Help Save Cwm Pennant

Cwm Pennant is a 60 bed Outdoor Education Centre in Snowdonia managed by Hillingdon Council, which for many years has provided an active holiday break in the countryside for so many of our local young people.

This month the Tory Council has voted to close it down, denying Hillingdon children the opportunity to visit and learn at this wonderful outdoor activity centre.

I believe that this is a disgraceful decision. In the same week that they decided to close this valuable community asset the Conservative council leaders have awarded themselves a staggering increase in allowances. Most members of our community are disgusted at their actions and so am I.

Please visit this website and sign the online petition to save Cwm Pennant.
