Hounslow Council wants to hear from you! They’re gathering opinions on their draft Climate Change Resilience Plan, which is open for feedback until March 27, 2026.
Climate change is impacting London now—think hotter days, rising flood risks, and poor air quality. These issues are expected to get worse in the coming years. The draft plan lays out how Hounslow can prepare for and respond to these changes while protecting residents and the environment.
This plan is based on local data and trends, and it incorporates insights from council staff and community members. The goal is to make sure it reflects what matters to everyone in Hounslow.
Councillor Katherine Dunne, who oversees climate and environment efforts, noted that recent extreme weather has highlighted the urgent need for action. “We’ve seen firsthand how climate challenges affect our communities, and these will only intensify,” she said. “This is your chance to voice your concerns and ideas.” She emphasized that building a resilient community requires input from everyone. Your feedback will help Hounslow create stronger, safer neighborhoods, especially for those most at risk from climate change.

To strengthen the discussion, it’s crucial to recognize the broader trend. A recent survey revealed that about 75% of Londoners are concerned about climate change, highlighting the need for effective local strategies.
