Visions for Northolt already starting to deliver
What is it?
Through Visions for Northolt, local people spoke about the need to ensure that Northolt is clean, healthy and resilient.

This will be a community-led approach to tackle the environmental challenges faced by Northolt between now and 2030, drawing on ideas from local people to reduce waste, pollution and carbon emissions, and create new jobs in the green economy.
