Stop Silvertown Lorry Depot

7 in 100 deaths in London Newham are due to air pollution. Don't make this worse with a 3 storey Lorry Depot.

Some of our campaign group recently met Mayor Fiaz. More detailed update to follow however, it's becoming clear that we've a long road ahead of us to protect #Newham residents' health and the environment from #AirPollution and #asthmauk
Next stop #londoncityhall and @SadiqKhan

Our campaign is politically neutral and we won't be used to make political statements. We aren't endorsing the green party despite what this thread may be suggesting.

Thanks Karin.

The local councillors, MP and the Newham Mayor have all engaged with our campaign, joined our events and some have spoken out against the current proposals*

*some can not due to legal restraints under planning regulations.

@NewhamLondon You need to talk to local ppl like @SilvertownDust @DontChokeUs about the current appalling levels of pollution. I took a walk in this area on Monday. There’s an urgent need to resolve the situation with hundreds of HGVs running down residential streets.

@SilvertownDust @Keltbraygroup I can’t imagine what it must be like living in vicinity of this construction site but can’t believe another school is being built there. @MumsForLungs @SilvertownDust @DontChokeUs

[James Asser MP @JamesAsser]

Joined local residents in Royal Docks last night to hear their concerns over the proposed massive lorry distribution depot near West Silvertown station. Very big turnout. I think it’s a bloody awful plan and in a completely unsuitable site.

[Stop Silvertown Lorry Depot @DontChokeUs]

Thank you to everyone signing our petition.

Since we launched it, we've gained support from local Labour councillors, (some) opposition parties, community groups, @rokhsanafiaz, @unmeshdesai, @JamesAsser, who all oppose it.

Only @SadiqKhan has stayed silent.

@mike_reader @noorchardwharf @SilvertownTn @BBCLondonNews @Heidi_LDN @CampaignNocado @DocksLabour Correct - it is a completely different initiative within Tower Hamlets, but physically close to the proposed Silvertown lorry park.

Air pollution ‘key contributor’ to Covid-19 deaths – study.
Analysis shows that for coronavirus deaths in Italy, Spain, France and Germany, 78% of them occurred in 5 regions, and these were the most polluted especially, with high NO2. https://t.co/4QD7BEEKLy

Cycle lanes won't protect Newham residents and children from over 2000 more vehicles a day.Let's get serious about protecting our communities and say NO to the proposed lorry depot @NewhamLondon #stopkillingcyclists

Impact of air pollution on health may be far worse than thought, study suggests. Increasing lorry traffic = more people dying. #dontchockus #letlondonbreath https://t.co/kPGvS9YNPj

@Team_Timms @stephenctimms we'd like to see the environmental assessment for the lorry distribution centre released to Newham residents asap so that we can fully understand the extent of the pollution and health impact for all. Will you help us by requesting its release please?

@unmeshdesai @MayorofLondon @unmeshdesai any thoughts on the GLA's recent comments on the lorry distribution centre application? Would be good to meet to discuss next steps as we continue forward in our #DontChokeUs campaign. Is @SadiqKhan behind the people of Newham please?

[Stop Silvertown Lorry Depot @DontChokeUs]

Thank you @unmeshdesai for your support in fighting against the inappropriate proposed Lorry Depot. @mayoroflondon over to you, 7% of deaths in our borough are due to air pollution, we deserve your support in not killing more of us. Please #DontChokeUs

[Stop Silvertown Lorry Depot @DontChokeUs]
