It is indeed a work of genius. A how-to manual in not inconveniencing drivers in any way whatsoever whilst simultaneously gaslighting everyone looking for change that supports active travel.

"With sustainability in mind, the council .... will also use fossil free energy sources": can the the hot air emitted from the great leader's office really count as fossil free?

Yesterday was a big day. 15 years ago, a group of parents (inc @bocadalupa and me) decided to take action about children’s lack of freedom and access to the space on their doorstep. We devised the resident-led play street model and set up @playingout to grow this movement...
Architects have given the thumbs up for getting council taxpayers cash for architecting a regional park that already exists.
Residents have given the thumbs up for a new regional park in the borough. To help the council develop more detailed plans for the regional park, internationally recognised architects, Prior + Partners have just been appointed. @deirdrecostigan @PKnewstub

Wow. W7's looking up! Where do all these funky hipster types hang out? Fox? Village Inn? Grovey?

Excellent description of our astounding Brent River regional park. If it ain't broke then don't fix it Deirdre.

An otherwise quiet Saturday morning but it's getting a bit #smidsy in the wild west that is the former LTN 21.
A masterclass in how to say nothing in 65 pages.
The council has published its plan to improve air quality and reduce pollution. The strategy details what the council intends to do and how our partners and residents can play their part in protecting the health of everyone in the borough.

Since quitting the gym, I go to Warren Farm instead of paying to walk on a treadmill. Far more enjoyable, interesting and free! I know several elderly Hanwellians who boast about doing their 10,000 steps around the meadow/canal too.
Nothing to see here. It's just everyday Coldershaw and Midhurst Traffic Action.
Hey @deirdrecostigan @_petermason @P_DriscollW5W13 just for the record, it’s getting increasingly dangerous around here in former LTN21 by the Leighton Rd width restriction #DeathTrap #DangerousStreets #AirPollution #Idling #RoadRage

A few weeks ago we got an alert that the Brent had been polluted, a dull, yellowish sheen covering it in Pitshanger Park. Follow this thread and offer your suggestion about what the polluter should be required to do.
"Ramped up fines for unnecessary idling to the maximum level".... and then ramped up enforcement idling to maximum levels too.

Increasing the number bike hangers from almost none to very few is an amazing achievement.

The devastating tale of an urban river.
Huge round of applause to all at @BrentPollution for their perseverance and dedication, an example to us all. 👏

The conveniently overlooked and misunderstood # LTNs of the 1960s and 70's
These never get called out as 'gated communities', car-free enclaves, private sanctuaries for the privileged few, high car ownership enclaves, social apartheid' etc.
We're addressing biodiversity by astroturfing a nature reserve and prioritising inactive travel. Meanwhile, here's a cute beaver.
Did you know that climate change is driving a rapid decline in biodiversity here in Ealing? Lots of species of insects, animals, trees and plants are under threat of extinction. 🦫 🐭 🌳 Share your views on the new proposed regional park by 19 December.

"50 years ago campaigners fought hard to create the Brent River Park and they are still fighting to protect the Regional Park today. It is not possible simply to rebadge it, to build on it and then hope that climate change and more frequent and severe flooding will go away"
In principle, we support Ealing Council’s proposal to create a Regional Park but we are concerned about some of the suggestions in the consultation. brentriverpark.org/regional-…
