We did it! Watch @NewhamLondon declare a #ClimateEmergency and commit to #carbonneutral2030 based on our motion, Monday 15 April.

[Beyond Fossil Fuels @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social @Beyond_Fossils]

Today, the UK closes its last coal-fired power plant, becoming the fifth European nation to go #BeyondCoal.

At the time of the London 2012 Olympics, coal generated 40% of the UK’s power. Tonight, it drops to zero, while #wind produces enough electricity to power 92% of UK homes.

Now we really can say HAPPY NEW YEAR and good riddance to #MSGSphere.

MSG have withdrawn their application.

Thank you again to all who objected to it and campaigned against it.

And to @MayorofLondon for doing the right thing in rejecting it.

WE WON. https://t.co/W0VRwHIkbP

[Stop MSG Sphere London @StopMSGSphere]

If this was you when, amongst end of year festivities, you got an email officially telling you the #MSGSphere application has been called-in, we feel you.

Wondering what it all means & what you can do?
Read on to find out what we know, whether you commented before or not. 🧵 1/6

When politicians play games they forget real people are on the other end of them.

Gove has issued another direction stopping LLDC from carrying out Khan's rejection for 42 days while he decides if he wants to call in the app.

He's had 9mths since he first indicated an interest!

[Stop MSG Sphere London @StopMSGSphere]

An excellent interview with @natehiggins discussing the Sphere rejection & the need for developments that will improve #Newham residents' lives not make problems worse.

A rallying call for social housing and against @SilvertownTn and the City Airport expansion. @StopCityAirport

[FossilFreeNewham @FFNewham]

A huge thank you to @StopMSGSphere , you persisted and didn't let go and what a fantastic result!

[Stop MSG Sphere London @StopMSGSphere]

For in-depth reporting that laid the truths bare:
@danhancox @hlsomerville & @ollywainwright countless media outlets for covering it.

For voting against it on the LLDC planning & decisions committee:
@dan4barnet @james_beckles @mariepye @NickSharman @rectripp

We are so grateful

[Newham Cyclists @NewhamCyclists]

Good. #MSGSphere would've completely overwhelmed Stratford station (already one of the most crowded in London) and endangered road users in the local area by flashing adverts down to the street. Let's hope it's dead & buried and get on with finding a meaningful use for this land.

@MarkKleinmanSky Statement from me as the local councillor https://t.co/vune9i83uK

[Mark Kleinman @MarkKleinmanSky]

Revealed: Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has decided to block an application from Madison Square Garden to build a London version of the Las Vegas Sphere at the Olympic Park in Stratford on the grounds of excessive light pollution. A formal statement is expected later today.

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

GOOD NEWS: Initial results on ULEZ expansion show:

✅ 45% fewer of the dirtiest vehicles now on London's roads
✅ 19 out of 20 vehicles don't need to pay ULEZ charge
✅ 37,200 Londoners have received funding from scrappage scheme

“Everyone should be able to enjoy the sky at night and...a home...free from advertising ... People in hotel rooms in Vegas...only have to put up with it for a day or two but the fact that would become your daily life feels inhumane.” Thanx to @ZackPolanski

In a democratic society, we should have the right to hold a placard in protest, without fear of imprisonment. Read more about those standing with #TrudiWarner https://t.co/axQmRKXnXp

[Transport Action Network @TransportActio2]

The Mayor of London has been making headlines for his plan to expand ULEZ. Lets hope Sadiq Khan now turns his attention to repurposing the Silvertown Tunnel 👀

[Kevin Maguire @Kevin_Maguire]

Good.

Will fade as a political issue after introduction when drivers realise it applies to the fewer than one-in-10 older vehicles that are most polluting.
