Great to see price-capped e-bike rides for Hackney residents. Hounslow residents can ride for £1.75 with the Voi4Hounslow scheme. Sign up on the Voi website under the Rider > Equitable access menu. Forest is currently offering £1 rides starting in Hounslow. www.londoncentric.media/p/lime-bike-...

Great to see the completed playground at Robin Grove Park. Thanks to @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social parks team and all the local residents who input their ideas 🛝🌳

Solidarity with Anna Dixon. Politicians of all parties have a responsibility to be truthful, to not mislead others or inflame situations that may put people at risk, including their political opponents.

It’s one thing to disagree with MPs, but quite another to make threats of death and violence. And the actions of the Tory MP are wholly unacceptable

Getting out the vote for Hira Dhillon in Cranford with @labourhounslow.bsky.social today. Good luck and well done to all the campaigners! 🌹

Good to see the gov explore different levers for taxing wealth - and there’s no shortage in options to implement fairer and more effective taxation of wealth. Eg equalising Capital Gains Tax & income tax, so that income from wealth is taxed at the same rate as income from work, could raise £14bn/yr.

"The current regulations are nearly 40 years old and do not account for the devices people need to use". Find out why we’re so excited that the Government has announced it's planning to review mobility aid law to make it fit for purpose. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... #MyCycleMyMobilityAid

It was a pleasure to sit down with Mike and talk all things climate and transport related

Car drivers who hit people cycling frequently claim the cyclist “came out of nowhere” regardless of the type of bike they were riding. I hope the driver in this case was prosecuted and that Flora pursues compensation from them. I also hope she’s able to get back on a bike, Lime or otherwise.

Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson has been confirmed as the next Chair of the EHRC. This is an excellent appointment. Dr Stephenson's significant experience and leadership in equality and human rights is *exactly* what the EHRC needs right now @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social www.gov.uk/government/n...

Investing in clean & green energy such as wind & solar supports well paid jobs here in the UK, reduces our dependency on petrostates and will help lower bills. Ed Miliband is absolutely right to call out Reform for opposing common sense energy policies. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

I have joined over 200 MPs to sign this cross-party letter to the PM and Foreign Secretary calling for recognition of the state of Palestine as soon as possible

Hounslow Council has appointed two new operators, Forest and Voi, to deliver its e-bike service for residents. Both contracts will begin on Monday 11 August. This follows a competitive procurement process, shaped by community feedback from the Kerbside Strategy consultation.

I know some brilliant female council leaders and even more women who could lead but who hit the glass ceilings, encounter the authority gap, quit early due to a culture that rewards men, or can no longer face the unpleasantness encountered online or in person

Excellent thread which echoes the concerns we have in @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social regarding cross pavement charging. Our EV charging strategy focuses instead on delivering an additional 2,000 charge points across the borough and we are not allowing the installation of charging gullies at this time

A Hounslow developer has been fined over £13,000 after unlawfully felling protected trees in a conservation area. This prosecution sends a clear message: illegal tree felling will not be tolerated. Read more: www.hounslow.gov.uk/news/article...

As Reform controlled councils across the country engage in climate denialism, we want to reassure residents that this Labour Council is very much committed to tackling the climate emergency head on. Here’s five ways we’re doing that right now 👇

You’ve heard of Bauhaus, you might like films that are arthouse, but do you know about the Aarhus convention? I didn’t until Friday night, and it’s V interesting! For Climate Action Week, @katherinedunne.bsky.social and I get seats for a special talk in court one of the Old Bailey. … /1

Berry exciting at Lidl Brentford this morning with people queuing up in the rain at 7am to shop! Thanks to all the store staff and the new @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social Mayor @amycroft.bsky.social for cutting the ribbon.

🚧 Cadent Gas will be setting up four-way traffic lights at the junction of London Road and Twickenham Road from Tuesday 27 May to Sunday 1 June to renew the gas main. To minimise disruption, the contractor will be working during the weekend and monitoring the traffic signals🚦

The people of Gaza are being deliberately starved They need full and immediate access to aid. I called on the Government to demand that that Israel ensures that aid is distributed in full by credible UN agencies and charities- not by private military contractors.

BREAKING: Brentford Women have been promoted to the 5th tier of women's football in England. Another promotion will see them break into the National Leagues.

Out in Syon & Brentford Lock with @dan-bowring.bsky.social, @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social officers and Hounslow Highways operatives earlier this week, speaking to residents and businesses about problems, improvements and opportunities for the ward

Full report to come. bit.ly/4juzV8L

This is welcome news from the Government. The fast growth of dedicated slot machine shops has had a huge impact on high streets such as Hounslow. Local councils should be given the power to reject applications for new slot machine shops. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Great turn out in the sunshine at #brentfordmarket Real community vibe, including delicious Argentine street food.

Planting trees for London’s newest Miyawaki forest in Feltham at the weekend. Perfect weather and a great turnout from local residents, councillors and @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social Green Ambassadors staff network

Ginkgo Corner officially opened by local celebs Arit Anderson and Nicki Chapman at @chiswickflowers.bsky.social this morning. It’s quite the sun trap and the new seating was in demand by punters and politicians alike

The work of another talented local female artist, Charlotte Hicks, on display at Mother Rugger in Brentford this month. A commentary on the objectification of women in art or inspiration for those of us in the Sunday morning Pilates class? Perhaps both..

Dishonest bad faith review. As expected from gender identitarians. Wong claims Trump 'was declared a “feminist kween”, “feminist hero” and “feminist icon” by several prominent feminist writers in the UK.' In fact, Janice Turner wrote: 'Why did the Democrats gift their worst enemy such an easy win'?

Charge & Drive in Brighton gave people a chance to test drive EVs with Brighton & Hove Council answering questions on where to charge. Good learning as we roll out our EV charging strategy in Hounslow. I also found a 4-wheel e-cargo bike & it’s from a business in East Sheen! handymanstation.co.uk
