RESIDENTS in a street in Wembley are being encouraged to limit the amount of time they spend in the shower to save the environment.
Seventy five people in Stanley Avenue have been given timers to urge them to spend just five minutes in the shower each day.
Irshad Nabee is the resident who is driving the scheme, with the support of Brent Council and Three Valleys Water, and has been talking to his neighbours about way to be more environmentally friendly.
He is hoping the timers will remind people to spend as little time as possible in the shower to conserve energy and save water.
Stanley Avenue has recently been deemed a Green Zone by the council, meaning residents have taken up environmentally-friendly ways of living.
