🌳Did you know UK gardens and green spaces are wildlife powerhouses?🌳

They support 50% of our butterflies, 40% of our birds, and a single oak tree can host 2,300 species 🦋🐦
Just imagine what our parks are doing every day!

Help us care for them by joining Elmhurst Gardens Action Day on Saturday 9 May!
Enjoy a friendly, hands‑on day of planting, weeding, litter picking, habitat creation and general park improvements - suitable for a range of abilities.

Don’t forget: outdoor clothing, sturdy shoes, and water 💧

We’ve invested in our libraries with improvements to study & children’s spaces, they’re safe and warm for those who need them. Our libraries are essential, it’s why we’ve protected them despite years of Tory cuts. Labour will always ensure they go from strength to strength.

[Redbridge Council @RedbridgeLive]

@KamRai7 The visit was also a great opportunity to recognise the brilliant work happening across all our libraries.

A huge thank‑you to all our library teams for their dedication and for keeping these valued community spaces thriving.
