This appears to show illegal waste dumping at Luxborough Lakes - allegations and film of site is truly shocking. And now a planning application to import 1.5 million tonnes of “clean” earth to improve disabled access to the lake - would this slow a prosecution @paulpowlesland ?

I’ve never encountered a more perfect example of how screwed up our conversation about land access & responsibility is, & how leniently we view environmental crime by landowners, than this scene I encountered on the River Roding today

p.15 of the Transport Assessment in planning app EPF/O502/35 says the applicant will bring in 1.53 million tonnes of “clean soil” over 3 years via 20 ton trucks. So 100 x 20 ton trucks a day through Chigwell, down Luxborough Lane to empty soil into the lake & driving out again

67% of inland drownings are caused by people falling in the water unexpectedly.

👀Spotted in Victoria Park🌳

Vicky Park was opened in 1845 & is London's oldest public park. This sponsored tree is a ginkgo biloba - they can live for well over 500 years. We wonder what this tree will see in another 180 years 🤔

This is 6 year old Conor who recently attended one of our Water Safety Education Sessions at his school.

He came straight home and asked his mum to record him talking about water safety.

Well done Conor, we are so proud of you 🫶

90 per cent of #PlanningApplications are approved by councils, but more than a million homes granted planning permission have not been built. Changing the #PlanningSystem is no guarantee that this problem will be solved. And we shouldn't even consider destroying the #GreenBelt!

Part of Chigwell's history - the so-called 'Dickens Oak' tree thought to be at least 300 years old - came crashing down yesterday, blocking a major road through the village.

A woman has emailed @TimesRadio to say she is planning to *knit* the election result - row by row, colour by colour, for every seat declared - and I honestly cannot think of anything more wonderfully British and fitting for this election.

Truly, an inspiration to all
