No statement from Brent Council on the future of the Welsh Harp Environmental Study Centre as schools break up for the summer holiday

 


Pond dipping nets stand ready for what may be the last groups to use the Welsh Harp Environmental Education Centre
 
Today marks a week since Brent Council were asked for a statement on the future of the Welsh Harp Environmental Education Centre.
 
Today also marks the last day of term. A lively crocodile of excited primary children walked by the nearby allotment this morning, oblivious to the fact that they might be the last to make use of the Centre.
 
As far as I can ascertain local schools have not yet been informed of the withdrawal of the charity Thames21 from managing the  Centre or of any transitional arrangements while a new sponsor is sought.
 
A prettty poor show that raises doubts about Brent Council's commitment to our young people and their education  about the climate and ecological emergencies that will shape their future lives.
