Wonderful, poignant funeral today for a very special man who was at the heart of ⁦@nationaltrust⁩ for decades. Julian Prideaux RIP - we all loved you

This graph goes a long way towards explaining why British houses look so cheap and are such low quality, even though they're expensive to buy.

They are, in fact, built cheaply.

We all need to comment on this draft #NPPF revision + more including giving constructive responses to specific questions asked - we need quality delivery of #built + #natural #environments - just our luck that summer holidays make ability to comment less easy!

New #housing aspirations will clear enormous backlog ref social housing but definition of #Greybelt must be robust + cancelling good design recreates poor slums of past > quality environments work better for those deserving it most? ⁦@AngelaRayner⁩ https://t.co/jdAZJn5VnY

Why has the ‘15-minute city’ taken off in Paris but become a toxic idea in UK? https://t.co/pQobwa8hBi

It's #CleanAirNight on 24th January. Please join us in putting up posters to help inform people about the #AirPollution impacts of #WoodBurning. It is still a vastly underestimated & misunderstood source of pollution. Order your posters via the link by Monday 15th January! https://t.co/2D9qs6HDxC

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

So pleased to see this happening. There is still low awareness of the many sources and #Health impacts of #AirPollution. Enabling health professionals to be able to talk about this with their patients has been a long time coming. #CleanAir

Most people will have caring responsibilities at some point in their lives.

#NetworkedData Lab analysis highlights what we know about unpaid carers and their access to local authority support.

This is a tragedy, why?

[Trees for Streets @TreesforStreets]

Alfresco☕️ - so much nicer with the simple addition of a tree🌳

Planting street trees is a great way to give local retail a boost 🚀

It's not rocket science🤔the space becomes nicer to be in > people stay longer > they spend more money.

Let's fill our streets with trees!

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

Paris now has 180 gorgeous ‘school streets.’ They are pedestrianized and landscaped streets around schools - to mitigate crashes, prioritize walking to school, reduce noise and air pollution. No brainer, really.

An article by @MarshallsGroup Head of Design, @JohannaElvidge, reviews #planning in a wider context than just safety.

"A lot of people have them (#WoodBurningStoves) for aesthetic reasons. We should be phasing out. If is not fair to be exposing other people to your pollution because you like the warm glow of sitting by a fire"
HT @GeorgeMonbiot the impact on neighbours is usually overlooked!

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

Levels of harmful pollution are three times higher in homes with a wood burning stove. Can you burn less this Christmas? #WoodBurningStove #EcoStove #AirPollution https://t.co/iL17ekhI1Z

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

Thank you so much @wandbc for spreading awareness of the dangers of burning wood in your Nov 2022 magazine to residents,
"residents are being encouraged not to burn unless
they have no alternative source of heating, as it
causes dangerous #AirPollution".

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

Would you like some of our wood burning flyers to help you spread awareness of the amount of #AirPollution given off by #WoodBurningStoves? Fill out your details here and we'll send you some.

[Professor Chris Whitty @CMO_England]

Great progress has been made to reduce outdoor air pollution in England, but we can and should go further – it is technically possible.

Tackling indoor air pollution should now also be a priority.

Today I publish my annual report on air pollution.
