LAST Thursday marked Clean Air Day and improving air quality is, of course, a top priority for Kingston Council. We have already launched an Air Quality Action Plan and are committed to making the council carbon neutral by 2030. Our action plan was developed after the council initiated a citizens’ assembly on clean air where members of the public gathered evidence and provided recommendations about how we could improve Kingston’s air quality.
I AM delighted to say planning permission for a new, modern leisure and community centre on the site of the old Kingfisher building has now been granted. This is a key milestone in our efforts to make Kingston an even more wonderful place to live, work and visit.
I AM very proud to say that, once again, Kingston Council has been able to approve a balanced budget for the financial year starting in April.
AS KINGSTON looks to recover from the impact of the Covid pandemic, it has never been more important to develop the places and spaces that support everyone to be active.
FOR many of us, January is a time for resolutions to exercise more, eat healthily or learn a new skill. But for some local people, their hopes for the new year may be more fundamental.
AS we approach Christmas and many of us enjoy the seasonal attractions in Kingston’s town centres, it is clear how important a thriving local economy is to the borough.
