A developer wants to destroy one of the last remaining riverside meadows beside the Roding in London. 11 acres of rapidly rewilding meadow, a haven for nature in an urban area, where kingfishers nest, kestrels & bats take flight & all manner of insects, butterflies & amphibians live, is proposed to be bulldozed to create a crazy golf course. This despite the fact that there are already *two* existing golf courses within a few hundred metres of this site!

The meadows used to be a publicly accessible playing field, but the person behind the development appears to have locked it up & allowed rubbish & flytipping to proliferate to make this site look ugly & unused; & thereby justify its destruction. I have been helping local residents to organise a campaign to ‘Save the Roding Meadows’ & they’ve done so much in a short space of time. Last weekend, they showed the power of community & organised a work day to do the landowners job for them and clean up the large amount of rubbish in the meadows.

You can help them in their efforts by taking a moment to share this post and sign and share their petition:

If you live anywhere locally (in LB Redbridge or along the Roding) any additional objections to the local authority would be really helpful. The application is below, & you can use this link to log objections via the portal. The deadline is this Friday (4th October):

Residents have compiled an example letter setting out the key objections at this link. Feel free to use, but personalised letters are preferable if at all possible:

Fingers crossed that the depth of care felt by local people for nature can save this irreplaceable meadow from destruction.

We welcome the Energy Efficiency Review.

Historic buildings can and must accommodate change if they are to play a crucial role in helping people reduce both carbon emissions and energy bills.

This review identifies opportunities to achieve this. ➡️ https://t.co/tFB9fCCkvd

@itvpeston
1 is it OK to dismiss a black woman with the wave of a hand while changing the subject (or anyone).
2 is it OK to fo us on GDP without talking about the environment?

Earth vital signs, current checklist:

1. North Atlantic temperature: FAIL

"North Atlantic Ocean is way beyond record hot right now. The kind of heat that would only be found once in 10s or 100s of thousands of years in a climate before human-caused warming took hold"

Today's smoke from the wildfires in Canada. Worst air quality in the world in the midwest and eastern US. We are the first generation to feel the effects of climate change and the last generation to do anything about it.

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝

@MissHorrigan @WavePhysical @ShacklewellE8 Everyone is a winner! Thank you, and all the team for a great sports day. We had so much fun.

Today is World Environment Day. 🌍

Our research shows that sympathetically upgrading and reusing existing buildings, rather than demolishing and building new ones, could dramatically improve a building’s energy efficiency.
