Climate change
campaigner Guy Shrubsole will be giving a talk about floods at Brent Friends of
the Earth's (Brent FoE) monthly meeting at Watling Gardens Community Meeting
Room, in Kilburn on Tuesday February 10th at 7.30pm.
Guy Shrubsole,
Climate Campaigner from Friends of the Earth will be asking are we at risk, and
what can we do to tackle floods and climate change in Brent.
Ian Saville, a
Co-ordinator of Brent Friends of the Earth says:
Floods and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent as a result of climate change. In Brent we have a large reservoir and the River Brent, and many people now find when they renew their insurance that they are considered at risk of flooding. There is a real danger of serious flooding in some areas. We'll be discussing how all this might affect us in Brent and what we can all do to lessen the risk.
Everyone is welcome
to attend this free event, and stay for the rest of the group meeting. Light
refreshments will be available.
The talk will start
at at 7.30pm till approximately 9pm, and will be followed by Brent FoE's monthly
meeting. The meeting will be at Watling Gardens Community Meeting Room, 97/135
Watling Gardens, Shoot Up Hill, NW2 3UB (5 mins. from Kilburn tube/buses on
Shoot up Hill). For more information see http://www.brentfoe.com
