This is Oxbow Island, on the River Lea, opposite the bottom of Southwold Road and Lathams estate E5 - a wonderful overgrown wild area of land and haven for river birds, still just about surviving. With the new plans for a double size ice rink, it is likely to disappear as such.

Rishi Sunak - utter failure

Missing:
- Additional cash for social homes building/acquisition.
- Boost to local housing allowance/Universal Credit
I don't know how you're planning on dealing with homelessness and unemployment without these, but there we go
And it took THREE attempts to turn into Nuttall Street

Would love to do this, but at £25 per person, the price excludes most ordinary people.

Flats for outright sale ARE unaffordable for ordinary working class people, that is undeniable.

They're not 'lux flats', they're flats for sale to build a new school, new leisure centre, & new council housing. We don't receive Gov't support for these things, so we have to find a way. Canopy cover will be replaced in time, but the unavoidable loss of trees is a wrench.
Tree canopy will only be replaced if new trees are not isolated specimens, however many there are. For habitat to be restored they need to be grouped together & surrounded by earth etc.

Don’t doubt your sincerity John, but the new trees will not replace the 3000 m2 tree canopy & the habitat destroyed. And no mention of the 400 lux unaffordable flats that are intrinsic to this development.
