Recently, a 13-year-old girl went to a meeting about plans to build approximately 1,300 houses on green belt land in the Black Country. But who is this 13-year-old girl and why is she important? Kate Davies is this girl. She is a year 9 at St Edmunds.

At this meeting she managed to convey her concerns to a room filled with adults. She said “In school, I’m on the eco committee and we’re trying to improve our school as the world is getting destroyed”  

She also wrote to her local MP to express her concerns regarding the new development.
