World Environment Day events
Council is holding a series of events on World Environment Day and encourages residents to get involved in one or more local activities:

A walk through Black Hill Reserve (10am – 12pm)
Head teacher Karen Silvester opened its refurbished library when pupils returned after lockdown. A national initiative is being led by Cressida Cowell, the Children’s Laureate and author of the How to Train Your Dragon series of books. She co-wrote a letter to the Prime Minister calling for £100m to be ring-fenced for building and refurbishing run-down libraries because, she said, millions of children were missing out on opportunities to discover the life-changing magic of reading. Greenwood’s library was funded by the school PTA, which wanted to invest in a large-scale project that would benefit all children at the school.
