A great initiative from Walmer Town Council. 💧♻️
A new free water refill station has been installed at the Marine Road toilets in Walmer, making it easy to refill reusable bottles while out and about.

Wouldn’t it be good to see more of these locally? 🌍💚

The new water refill station is now open at the Marine Road toilets in Walmer.

The refill station is free to use for all, installed opposite to The Cedars surgery. Just put in your bottle or container, press and hold the button and fill up!

🔥 Kent fire and rescue services advice during spells of hot weather 👇

Crews believe a fire in last night was caused accidentally after an out-of-control bonfire spread to nearby trees.

During long spells of hot weather, our advice is to avoid lighting bonfires, as the ground can be extremely dry, which causes fires to start and spread quickly.

If you do choose to light a bonfire, make sure it's built well away from anything that could catch alight, such as greenery, overhanging branches or property.

And never leave a bonfire unattended. Once it has burnt out, dampen it down fully with water making sure that the fire is out and surroundings are made safe before leaving.

The UK faces growing risks from climate change and nature loss, from extreme weather and food insecurity to economic disruption and national security threats.
Yet the public has never been given a clear national briefing on the scale of these risks.

Whatever our individual views on the solutions, I think we all deserve access to clear, trusted, evidence-based information.

The petition calls for a UK-wide, prime-time, multi-channel televised public briefing, delivered by independent scientists and supported by the UK's Chief Scientific Adviser, so everyone can better understand the risks we face and what we can do, both together and individually, to prepare and respond.

If you agree, please consider signing the petition, sharing it with others, and writing to your MP to ask them to support this proposal.

The UK faces growing risks from climate and nature breakdown - from extreme weather to economic disruption and national security threats. Yet the public has never been given a clear national briefing on the scale of these risks. Government should hold an emergency briefing from leading experts.

Map showing major long-term flood risk due to sea level rise vs screenings of the People's Emergency Briefing.

Areas in east England face severe threats. Though this is likely to take many decades to play out, house prices will tumble long before areas have to be vacated.

But so many still aren't aware.
