Bit concerning to see a @Royal_Greenwich employee telling @KateM45 she’s not allowed to film him as he drives down the wrong side of Vanbrugh Hill in a council vehicle. I trust the council will take this seriously. @MPSGreenwich

One thing I think drivers don't get is that the inconvenience they're experiencing from school streets, LTNs and cycle lanes is miniscule in comparison to the inconvenience other road users have been asked to take for the benefit of drivers over the years.

This part of East Greenwich is a long established low traffic neighbourhood. It can be accessed by residents and visitors but provides no options for through traffic. As a result, it’s never busy with traffic and is a pleasant area to explore on foot or by bike.

The Rose Garden, a small park on the corner of Blackwall Lane and Tunnel Avenue is under threat of being sold off by @Royal_Greenwich again. Greenwich can't afford to lose any more green space.

Message received from Greenwich Park officials today. 'At Greenwich Park we have agreed to continue locking the park gates at 7.00pm (19.00 hrs) until further notice, despite the clocks changing this weekend.' This will help with staffing issues.
