An open letter to Cllr Hilary Gander and her colleagues on Kingston Council

Dear Councillor Gander,
We warmly welcome your proposal that Kingston join other UK councils in declaring a climate emergency. We urge our councillors of all parties to support the Climate Emergency Declaration, and then to back the local initiatives that will be needed in the very near future to implement the Declaration and help avoid climate chaos.
Yours sincerely,
Kingston upon Thames residents
