In the first episode of Talk Richmond, we discuss the response by both community and Council to the outbreak of coronavirus. The Leader of Richmond Council, Cllr Gareth Roberts, talks about the challenges, from protecting the most vulnerable to continuing to run everyday services such as bin collections. Conversation with Kathryn Williamson, the Director of Richmond Council for Voluntary Services, finds a silver lining in the huge outpouring of community spirit, including 3,100 people registering to volunteer and ponies being led round the borough to cheer people up! covid-19, richmond upon thames council, gareth roberts, richmond upon thames, volunteering, local government, coronavirus, jim millard, lockdown, london, richmond council, talk richmond, richmond cvs false full 1
