📢 Steve Mewes, Somerset Wildlife Trust: “I'm here today because the climate and nature emergency is the most important threat we face. The Climate and Nature Bill has to be debated. It's so important—it should be at the top of the agenda for the House of Commons.” 🐝 #CANBill 💚 #ActNowChangeForever

💬 Natalie Barnet, @parentsforfutureuk.bsky.social: “I'm here because I want a liveable future for my children”—one of many powerful voices at today's #ActNowChangeForever Mass Lobby. 📢 Our call? Bring the Climate and Nature Bill back to Parliament for a debate and vote. 🐝 zerohour.uk 💚 #CANBill

For too long, residents have endured noisy, disruptive pedicabs. TfL is consulting on cracking down on this issue under the Pedicabs (London) Act 2024—let’s ensure amplified noise is banned for good. Join me in calling for TfL to stop the noise. www.rachelblake.org.uk/stopthenoise

The Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) has been reactivated to protect those sleeping rough during freezing temperatures. Warmth and shelter can save lives—if you see someone who needs help, connect them to support through StreetLink. #BeTheLink thestreetlink.org.uk

We know that children who are introduced to active travel from a young age are more likely to continue the habit into adulthood. I encourage schools to join TfL's Travel for Life scheme which improves the environment and supports healthy lifestyles. highways-news.com/tfl-calls-on...

2025 marks the 25th anniversary of Art on the Underground. To celebrate a quarter of a century of free public art that millions of Tube passengers have enjoyed, @transportforlondon.bsky.social has revealed four new artworks coming to the network this year.

Cold weather can be life-threatening for people sleeping on the streets. Emergency accommodation is open across the capital during this freezing weather. Londoners—if you see someone sleeping rough, alert Streetlink to connect them with services that can help. thestreetlink.org.uk
