Latest episode

• Episode 36 transcript

Talk Richmond is joined by Robert Davies, Borough Commander of the London Fire Brigade, to discuss how young people can stay safe in the Thames, help if they see someone in trouble and still enjoy the river during the warm weather.

As the only London borough that straddles the Thames, we have a unique identity that energises our public spaces and attracts visitors. We know the Thames is a hotspot, so we partnered with the RNLI and London Fire Brigade to prevent another tragedy from happening.
