Parents are being urged to switch to ‘real nappies’ to help save the environment.

Mothers and fathers living in Barnet, Enfield, Haringey and Waltham Forest are entitled to claim their free real nappy subsidy of £54.15.

The North London Waste Authority says using real nappies can reduce household waste by up to half.

Real Nappy Week runs from April 20 to April 26.
