ACT Meetings
River Water in Ramsey
ACT and Imperial College were delighted to be invited to Ramsey, where the Pavilions provided a wonderful venue for the River Water event.
As a special treat, the Ramsey team invited Martin Smyth to give a fascinating talk on the history of the rivers in Ramsey. His engaging stories added real depth to the day – you can watch his talk here: https://youtu.be/fjDCmAIj_nU.
A big thank you to Martin for making the event even more memorable. As always, people came along to learn more about their local area, and once again it proved to be an informative and special occasion.
Date: Tuesday 13th May
ACT’s second project with Imperial College London was to take a group of school children from Cranford Community College and to let them start to learn about the impact of different types of air pollution in the everyday settings.
Even before the end of the walk the Children were talking about how to avoid pollution hot spots and mitigation techniques.
This event was such a great introduction to local environmental issues for children and is something that would be fabulous to do again in other areas.
