Hanwell Massive! We made it on to @pelliclemag.com!

Watch our little film about the Brent, its beauty, and our battle to defend it from a host of man-made troubles. @thames21.bsky.social @friendsofthethames.bsky.social @brentriverpark.bsky.social @riveractionuk.bsky.social @thatvetsean.bsky.social

The #ElizabethLine is definitely a success. #Hanwell is absolutely packed at rush hour but busy outside of that and at weekends. It’s about time for #TFL to stop terminating so many westbound trains at Paddington and give us (and Acton Main Line) a more frequent service.

Sewage in the rivers affects even the super-rich. There is poo the Sultan’s private lake. theviewfromw5.substack.com/p/thames-wat...

The most dangerous transport gap in Ealing is the gap between the council's rhetoric and action in support of active travel.

[Then] No to LTNs. Let's have school streets instead. [Now] No no no. Not *that* school street.

Brent Meadow to Top Locks has been voted Ealing’s favourite walk. With our 50th Anniversary coming up on 29th June, it's great to know how Luke FitzHerbert's vision in fighting to found this 7km green chain of parks is still appreciated. FitzHerbert Walk, part of this walk, is named for him.

It’s the 50th anniversary of the Brent River Park. It was the brainchild of Luke FitzHerbert, who was one of those larger-than-life characters with bags of energy. A left-wing member of the Bullingdon Club (no, really) and former Irish Guardsman.

"There's no better investment which a public body can make than the securing of open space - a boon for the present and an inheritance for generations yet born" Charles Jones, Ealing's first Borough Engineer writing, in 1901, about acquiring Ealing's open spaces. We agree!

This is stomach churning, but essential reading for all Brentsiders.

I have told this story before, but bringing it here. This street has footway parking on both sides which gives 1 metre of walking space beyond the lines. But, if drivers obey the markings, you can't get a car up the middle. Because residents kept getting tickets, I was asked to look at it. 1/n

All those arguments about the expansion of Ulez feel like quite a long time ago, don’t they? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What the hell is @ealingcouncil.bsky.social thinking? chng.it/dWpCRMv4JB

Everything you've been told about the 'unpopularity' of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods is a lie.

Sewage from an entire block of flats running directly into the Brent.

If I was on FB still I'd share this tree planting event to a list of local friends and know that a couple of dozen people would see it. I miss that. Not worth promoting disinformation and hate speech by staying there though. Please do share though, if I heard correctly there are lots to plant!

Remove car infrastructure! Regain: 🚶active travel 🎭 cultural activities 🌬️ improved air circulation 🌤️ cleaner air 🐿️ wildlife 📈 (international) visitors 🌡️ cooler neighbourhoods 🌊 better flood management In other words: a more liveable and thriving city! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This is not Hanwell.

Rock star river campaigner Feargal Sharkey visited the River Brent recently. He praised the ‘heroic’ work of CURB, slammed developers for installing misconnected foul water pipes and criticised the regulatory authorities for their lack of action. www.lbc.co.uk/news/feargal...
