The smoggy conditions in London yesterday were primarily caused by a combination of low cloud, mist, and Saharan dust transported on southerly winds. PM2.5 pollution levels in London are lower than in previous years but still remain *above the most current World Health Organization guidelines*.

Thanks to @theecologist.org for using a version of my article about the insane, damaging plan to fit carbon capture technology to waste incinerators at Belvedere. 1/3 theecologist.org/2026/mar/05/...

Reminded myself how totally amazing the Greenwich foot tunnel is this morning. Caught up with @karinlt.bsky.social and @escalatenow.bsky.social campaigners calling for more reliable lifts to support this important river crossing.

Greenwich Greens are feeling so invigorated by Hannah’s win in Gorton and Denton but the work goes on to get more Greens elected! Join us !

Gorton & Denton have just made history!! The politics of hope can win over the politics of hate! Join.greenparty.org.uk

A Green win it is!!! Hope has won! Amazing results for Hannah 💚💚💚

Hey Hannah - not sure if you're up to much today?

Went to Brighton on Monday to see beautiful starling murmurations and to watch Zack Polanski and Caroline Lucas on stage for @boldpolitics.bsky.social! So inspirational! Hoping for a Green win in Gorton and Denton! 💚🍃

Wow! Labour have been getting more and more desperate with every passing day. But this is off the charts. Inventing a tactical voting website?! www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/labour...

Incredible energy today from Greens out in Charlton Hornfair for Lakshan Saldin ~ Jessica Holland and in Greenwich Park for Stacy Smith ~ Karin Tearle. All hard working Greens! For real hope & real change, let’s break 50 years of a Labour majority on Greenwich Council! 🍃

Such a great day! Join us! join.greenparty.org.uk

Greenwich Greens out door- knocking in Greenwich Park Ward today. Our candidates Karin and Stacy have a proven track record of working hard *all year round*. Do you want just more Labour who’ve been in charge since 1971 or do you want change? Join us! join.greenparty.org.uk

Greens out on the Barnfield Estate in Shooters Hill today, talking to residents and picking up casework for Cllr Tamasin Rhymes. Such great teamwork! We’re campaigning for a fairer, greener future right here in our community. Change is growing! join.greenparty.org.uk

We’re very disappointed to see no evidence of Greenwich foot tunnels on this map. And these should be embedded in local transport policies. The cable car (which does feature) is not the best way for cyclists and wheelers to travel.

When will the foot tunnels be taken seriously? A response to a FOI published last September tells us components from north lift were used for the south lift. It’s simply not true that Precision Lifts are having to wait on ‘bespoke’ parts. A full investigation into this contractor is necessary!

Woolwich Foot tunnel is on a map for ‘Spatial Site’ but not under Transport. @royalgreenwich.bsky.social please correct me if wrong because it’s very strange that such a crucial active travel link is missing from the Local Plan . @transportforall.org.uk @inclusionlondon.bsky.social

Great reception to Green message on the doorsteps of Denton & at Longsight Market - voting Greens is clearly seen as best way to stop the hate-filled politics of Reform in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Bumping into the Guardian’s @johnharris1969.bsky.social was an added bonus 🙂

Swifts are in serious decline across the UK, with their population dropping by 66% since 1995. Yesterday the Scottish Parliament backed our amendment to introduce nesting bricks in new buildings. This will help reverse that trend and make our communities more liveable for birds. 🌍

Heron in Brookmill Park on the borders of Lewisham and Greenwich. Lots of action with nest building! rspb.bsky.social #Birds #Nature

Of note, lifts don’t work well in these blocks of flats. My guess is that the contractor Precision Lifts (contract signed in 2018 for £12 million) carries out this work. They’re also in charge of the foot tunnel lifts…. @escalatenow.bsky.social .

Greenwich Greens were out in Greenwich talking to residents. Much discussion about poor response to housing repairs, fly tipping and a poorly maintained public realm.

Sadly suppressing such a devastating report doesn’t make the risks go away - it just makes them even harder to deal with. Facing up to the truth is the first step to coping with it - it’s beyond scandalous that ministers tried to prevent this. They need to act - and fast

A response to this FOI submitted by Sarah Hartley is long overdue. @royalgreenwich.bsky.social @gmwatch.bsky.social www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/the_...

With Stacy Smith out in Greenwich today street cleaning and preparing planters for the spring. Very positive comments from local residents. It lifts the mood on a dull day in January! #GuerillaGarden

Surveys and reports I obtained since *2024* referenced a ‘History of Leaks’, suggesting the soil stacks themselves were *corroded, causing significant leaks within dwellings, leading to damp and mould*. When will @royalgreenwich.bsky.social take action?How long should residents wait?

What Cllr Tamasin Rhymes has been doing for Shooters Hill residents

Today I spoke with residents on the Orchard estate in Greenwich. They expressed frustration over the pace of repairs services including poor cleaning of communal areas and lifts. They say they pay their rent & deserve better. I’ve been visiting this area for a few years & no improvement here 👇

Cutting bus frequency flies in the face of both RBG and the Mayor's ambitious traffic reduction goals. Southeast London with its already poor public transport infrastructure gets targeted by @tfl.bsky.social once again.

But why make cuts to a bus route such as the 386 here in Greenwich? “Cutting frequency is a problem" . 👉 www.egra.london/current-proj...

Another car shoe glide?’ We identified these parts sitting idle on a steel beam last June with nothing being done about it for months on the north side. We need a full investigation into this company called ‘Precision’.

Greenwich Foot Tunnel, an asset of historical importance and a vital cross river link for 4k users a day yet the lifts are unreliable & exclude a variety of wheelers, parents with prams & those less able to navigate over 100 steps on either side. Woolwich has the same issues. www.escalate-now.com
