ECO concerns dominated when junior parliamentarians from Northwich Parliament quizzed their grown-up equivalent in Westminster. Weaver Vale MP Mike Amesbury was guest of honour at the online event organised by Northwich Education Partnership involving several primary schools in his constituency. Topics ranged from tackling flooding, reducing packaging and plastic use, increasing recycling, moving towards renewable energy and taking personal responsibility around not littering. Mr Amesbury, who had received letters from many of the children, said: “We’ve got a climate emergency and I notice one of the schools here has experienced that in quite a stark way.” Hartford Manor Primary School junior parliamentarians Maisie and Leo taking part in the virtual event on Zoom.
