THE back and forth of buying a house – all the trips to the estate agent and solicitor, the surveyor visit and removals - creates time, expense, and carbon emissions.

Against the background of Britons increasingly trying to tread lightly on the planet, local firm Greenacre Financial Services is offering a carbon neutral house buying process.

THE LATEST SporTedd event aimed at raising funds for local sport-themed projects in the Teddington area raised over £3000 despite a last-minute hitch.
