Shooters Hill hustings today at 2.00pm in Shrewsbury House.

What a lovely Easter Day. The woods are full of birdsong and insects flitting abouts. Apart from watching a nuthatch darting up an oak, there were Bee Flies, and butterflies such as Comma, Peacock, Brimstones and Orange Tip…#Oxleas #woodlands #wildlife #nature

"Reeves has not met a single environmental organisation or the body for professional ecologists, while Pennycook has had just four meetings with such groups, compared with 16 with leading developers." The Government's false binary that growth means sacrificing the environment in action again.

As it stands, the Planning and Infrastructure Bill will undermine species protection. Write to your MP today, it takes less than 2 minutes act.bats.org.uk/urge-your-mp... Thank you to everyone who has already spoken up for #bats 🦇. Please share widely

Sad to hear some members of the @houseoflords.parliament.uk willing to undermine the protection of bats and dismiss the important role they play as part of our natural heritage. We need evidence based legislation that recognises the economic, social and cultural value of wildlife protection.

Morning. Let's start the week with some late-Victorian South East London crime. A crime so shocking it'll make your eyes water. A case with... many layers?

The Green Party has its first ever councillor in Greenwich after Tamasin Rhymes won the Shooters Hill by-election. The result is the biggest upset in Greenwich politics for a generation and follows a row over the Labour council's land sales in the ward.

At a local council by-election hustings where the chair has just had to ask the Reform candidate to calm down after he started shouting at everyone for suggestions that his party wants to privatise the NHS

Seven candidates will compete to succeed Ivis Williams as councillor for Shooters Hill at a by-election called after the Labour councillor’s resignation in a row over council land sales. The poll will be on June 26.

In its Planning and Infrastructure Bill the Government seems determined to do what Owen Patterson tried to do to nature in 2014. It was nonsense then and it's nonsense now, and deeply damaging to our environment. Here's what I wrote at the time. e-shootershill.co.uk/2014/01/09/w...

A Greenwich Labour councillor who spoke up for local residents protesting against the sale of council land in her ward has quit after being threatened with a six-week suspension. greenwichwire.co.uk/2025/05/09/l...

After seven years serving as a local councillor in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, it is with regret that I announce my resignation from my role as councillor. It had been my absolute pleasure representing residents in Shooters Hill since May 2022 and Woolwich Commom between May 2018-2022.

On Sunday I am doing the archaeological day job, conflict archaeology, leading three WW2 themed guided walks at Severndroog Castle in Shooters Hill, south east London, as part of their #VEDay80 commemoration. Tickets are free via Eventbrite and I am pleased to report they are going fast.

This guided walking quest through the woodland at Memorial Hospital is being delivered as part of Memorial in Bloom. It is funded by Greener Communities Fund, for Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. #CuriousSparks #ClareBarryUK urbantreefestival.org/walk-for-young…

🦇The Planning and Infrastructure Bill (PIB) is making its way through Parliament - and we urgently need your help to protect bats and other wildlife. Please ask your MP to help protect wildlife in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. More information here: www.bats.org.uk/news/2025/04...

The Victorian pumping station at Crossness will be throwing open its doors this weekend as part of celebrations to mark its 160th anniversary. Bexley borough's 60th anniversary will also be marked - the 32 London boroughs were founded on April 1, 1965.

Greenwich Council has axed plans to close Maryon Wilson Animal Park after more than 10,000 people signed a petition against the plan. The town hall had proposed closing the park, which is said would save £60,000, as part of a new round of austerity cuts.

If you’d like to try and stop this, there’s already a petition you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Plans to sell Greenwich's equestrian centre - which was supposed to be part of the borough's Olympic legacy - and a building next to the Shrewsbury House community centre have been challenged by Tory councillors.

Labour has convincingly won the Shooters Hill by-election, with Raja Zeeshan becoming the area’s new councillor. The election was called Danny Thorpe, a former leader of Greenwich Council, stood down six weeks ago after 22 years at the town hall.

Five candidates will vie to replace ex-council leader Danny Thorpe when the Shooters Hill by-election is held on November 14.

It was supposed to be a prestigious and long-lasting Olympic legacy project. But 11 years after it opened, the Greenwich Equestrian Centre in Shooters Hill has been fenced off and could be sold off by the council. An entrepreneur has launched a petition to save it.
