Precisely! It offers ‘a new way to cross the Thames’ at a time when @MayorofLondon wants us to use active travel yet no bikes allowed. As for pollution, this will come from 1000s extra vehicles predicted by @TfL including bigger, heavier HGVs. @SilvertownTn @LDN_environment

Unfortunately @TfL are still not listening and rarely make announcements on the train as it pulls into Cutty Sark DLR. I recently spoke to an operator to ask if he’d been briefed. It was a yes but he shrugged his shoulders, had forgotten. An automated announcement is best.

Don’t drive in East Greenwich tonight. A102 queuing back beyond Sun the the Sands. Appears to be closure on Woolwich Road. Westcombe Park gridlocked. Closures affecting M25 and Dartford crossing. 😳

"Does not include any affordable/social housing"
Oh dear!

Bumblebees can only fly for 40 minutes between feeds. So growing just one nectar-rich plant could be the pit-stop that saves a bee. Helping bees, butterflies, moths, and other pollinators is also a great way to connect with nature!

A study i missed recently that is well worth looking at. I quit alcohol in 2018 and a major contribution to that decision was excellent articles in @MotherJones by @smencimer about alcohol industry lies re moderate drinking. The Guardian theguardian.com/society/arti…

Is anyone going to say it ? You know PESTICIDES . . . unregulated , unknown quantities subsidised by taxpayers to poison the land and water and sea . . . it’s time to take the @NFUtweets and @DefraGovUK to task . Now .

Why London needs a micro de-paving revolution 🧵
We need a scheme to de-pave & green small (less than 50 sq. metres) currently impermeable areas in London. This is illustrated by some of the *100’s* of such areas I saw on a 20 min cycle through one part of the city in LB Newham

We’re in the midst of a heatwave, please give your nearest NEW street tree a drink 🌳💧💚
Extra watering from caring local residents can make all the difference to how well a tree develops, and sometimes whether it survives.
👉Spread the word #WateringWednesday 💧💧🌳🌳

Have your say about a tunnel bringing 1000s more HGVs down our approach roads.Follow the links below or: Email: TC-yourview@tfl.gov.uk
Phone: 020 3054 6037 quote 'Tunnel Charges consultation'
Or: FREEPOST TFL HAVE YOUR SAY
TfL have now corrected the link to email them on this consultation. Time to tell them that opening Silvertown to general traffic, with or without toll, locks in increased emissions for decades - so they should make it active travel and PT only. @philsturgeon @transportac

Which side are you on? Add your name to the petition calling on the UK government to ban the use of pesticides on the streets, parks and playgrounds of our villages, towns and cities. @Royal_Greenwich @ElthamEnviros @growingforgold pesticidecollaboration.org/g… #GoPesticideFree

I've just signed this, and would urge everybody to do so. We don't need to spray poisons in our streets and parks. Pls RT pesticidecollaboration.org/g… #GoPesticideFree @PAN_UK

Miyawaki trial plot at Cornwallis Park, Maidstone. Despite being planted only last April, into compacted closely-mown grass, saplings are thriving & it is already a habitat for Hop-garden Earwig, Speckled Wood & Jersey Tiger.🌳@maidstonebc @KentWildlife @WoodlandTrust @BSBIbotany – at Maidstone, South East

Neglected fact: getting more housebuilding is about more than planning reform.
Here’s an important graph for understanding that:
Developers have consistently under-delivered on their planning permissions for years.

Our actions create ripples that lead others to act.
