Students, teachers and parents have protested outside Bromley Council’s Civic Centre over climate change concerns.

The #NoTimeToLose protest was part of the globally coordinated day of youth climate action last Friday.

Students in Bromley called on the council to declare a climate emergency like its counterparts in Lewisham.

Sam Gee, 16, of St Olave’s Grammar School, said youngsters were "terrified" about the future.

He added: "We know that it is up to the politicians to end their games and make the necessary changes to safeguard Bromley’s people and environment, and our planet."

The student-inspired protest called on the council to have net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2028 and to provide more support for residents to walk, cycle or use public transport.

Eliza Ahmad-Hayes, 10, the youngest protestor, said: "Everyone has their part to play in stopping climate change.

"If Bromley Council banned single-use plastics in its buildings, it would set an example and others would follow."

After the protest, the 25 pupils and adults joined the 10,000-strong protest in Westminster.

Before the protest Bromley councillor Simon Jeal said: "It is fantastic to see young people from schools across Bromley taking action.

"I’m totally supportive of their protest, I hope councillors from both parties will come along, listen and resolve to act on their demands.

"Their futures depend on all of us coming together to tackle climate change now."
