Weston's Great Big Green Week has been hailed as a success after a series of well-attended events were held - with more to come.

The town's Great Big Green Week will showcase green technology and projects to help slow climate change, ending on Sunday.

The council's executive for climate emergency and engagement, Cllr Bridget Petty, told the Mercury that a number of communities across North Somerset have got involved with the nationwide initiative.

Cllr Petty said: "I have been delighted to hear of different Great Big Green Week events taking place across North Somerset in Weston, Clevedon and Backwell.

"The Rewilding walk I have coordinated in the Backwell area is already sold out.

"I am keen to see more and more people involved in events and actions to act on climate change, a small step from everyone takes us one closer to Net Zero often with other personal benefits in health and well-being."

Cllr Petty will also be hosting a Facebook Live on Thursday, taking questions from people on climate change.

Ellenborough Park West hosted five hours of activities for both adults and children including yoga, bug finding and a game of rounders for all ages.

The council has labelled the area its new well-being space.

Elsewhere, Weston Chamber of Commerce and environmental volunteer group plastic-free Weston has announced a series of free curry and conversation sessions for people to discuss climate change informally.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce, Sue Shillabeer, told the Mercury that she hopes businesses will also join the discussion.

She said “We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to host these important workshops.

"We encourage businesses and residents alike to come along and learn what steps we can all start to take now to reduce carbon emissions and help North Somerset become carbon neutral by 2030.”

The first curry and conversation event will take place in November.
