Richmond & Twickenham Times lack of coverage
Richmond & Twickenham Times no longer has a finger on the pulse about important things that are happening in their area.

Let us know if you have something to say about reducing plastic bag use in Kew.

I told him I refuse to do so, it is not nesersary and "I only live there" (pointing at my house opposite.There bags may be green but not always there attitude.
