ORGANISERS of a climate change protest that is taking place today in Ulverston say they are “tightlipped” about what form the demonstration will take but assured that it would be “dramatic”.
Residents and pupils will be protesting in the town as part of the Global Climate Strike.
Students from Ulverston Victoria High School are expected to join the event as well as school pupils from Kendal and Barrow
The protest will take place from 12.30pm near the town’s Coronation Hall.
Student organiser Tilly Jackson, 17, said: “I feel that the climate emergency has fallen onto us younger people to take care of - but we can’t do that without the help of the people in power.
“In these strikes we hope to push our message of just how important climate change is to governments and corporations so they can take action.”
