[Rectory Rd N16 Residents Association 🚶🏾‍♂️🚴 🌳 @N16Rectory]

🙏🏾 @willnorman to reduce the high level of #AirPollution , speeding danger and to improve the health and safety of our residents families, kids, pedestrians, cyclists:

-20mph🚶🏿🚴🏿‍♀️🧑🏽‍🦽
-Crossing outside Linden Children's Centre🛴
-Trees for cleaner air + cooling @metecoban92 🌳🌳🌳

[Rectory Rd N16 Residents Association 🚶🏾‍♂️🚴 🌳 @N16Rectory]

@willnorman Traffic on our road is so bad despite lockdown.We suffer high AirPollution + speed danger but as residential road, we’re not in a LTN and as A10 stretch, we’re ignored by @TfL But our community has rights to a greener, healthier, safer road too. #activetravel @hackneycouncil 🌳🚶🏿

[Rectory Rd N16 Residents Association 🚶🏾‍♂️🚴 🌳 @N16Rectory]

@melissacreate15 @TfL @MayorofLondon @WoodlandTrust Thanks Melissa, we are hopeful and look forward to meeting our new @mayorofhackney 🌿

[Rectory Rd N16 Residents Association 🚶🏾‍♂️🚴 🌳 @N16Rectory]

More than 5 years ago we asked @TfL for a zebra crossing outside Linden Children Centre alongside 20mph (which is in place now but not enforced) and trees (zero trees).
To this day there is no safe crossing and wide enough pavements for families and children.
@MayorofLondon

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Every child should be able to walk or cycle to school safely, but we know many people are put off by safety concerns, poor crossings or inaccessible streets.

@TfL’s Walk and Wheel Plan will make streets safer and more accessible for everyday journeys.

@AlexSherston @Breathe_London @LDN_environment @MayorofLondon We have been in conversation with Hackney Council over the past 7 years, but so far, with @TFL managing the road - we are a red route - there hasn't been any progress...
But we will keep campaigning and are looking forward to reach out to our new Mayor @mayorofhackney too!🌳
🙏🙏🏾

[Rectory Rd N16 Residents Association 🚶🏾‍♂️🚴 🌳 @N16Rectory]

Another hot evening and we can’t open the windows onto the road, to prevent the A10 fumes coming in.
Our @Breathe_London node data shows dangerously toxic levels of NO2 from the A10.
And still no🌳🌳 to help with air filtering, shade or cooling.

Yesterday was as hot as mid July last year: #ClimateEmergency is worsening + heat makes #airpollution worse. Still waiting for trees in the only residential road in Hackney crossed by the A10 #redroutes @MayorofLondon @LDN_environment
No shade, shelter, air filtering or cooling.

[Rectory Rd N16 Residents Association 🚶🏾‍♂️🚴 🌳 @N16Rectory]

Another heatwave and no trees: no shade, no cooling, no air filtering.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

An amber heat health warning is in place in London until Thursday 28 May ⚠️

Keep cool and stay hydrated - and please check in on anyone who may find it difficult to manage in the heat.

@EmmaforWycombe @Keir_Starmer @UKHSA @metoffice @tobyperkinsmp @BarryGardiner @H_S_E @DefraGovUK Official: CODE RED HIGH AIR POLLUTION ALERT for southern UK on Mon 25 and Tues 26 May. Risk of death for military on endurance exercises. National Pollution Alert legally required if 1hr-ozone exceeds 180ug/m3. Oddly, ‘Tomorrow’ description omits HIGHs (see maps)

[Rectory Rd N16 Residents Association 🚶🏾‍♂️🚴 🌳 @N16Rectory]

@melissacreate15 @LDN_environment Unfortunately as a red route, we are managed by @TfL
They so far had no interest in our ask because we are not an High Street. Which is enraging, since we are a only a residential road with a children's centre, carrying the whole A10 southbound. We will keep asking @MayorofLondon

[Rectory Rd N16 Residents Association 🚶🏾‍♂️🚴 🌳 @N16Rectory]

Rectory Road has been campaigning for the past 7 years to ask for trees on our road to help filter air, provide shade and reduce heat, especially critical as increasing heatwaves worsen pollution, as well as mitigating the impact of heavy rainfall and flooding.🌳@LDN_environment

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Big announcement:

We’re supercharging green and blue spaces to bring nature back across the capital, with local communities leading the charge. It’s not just about restoring our natural world - we’re making London more climate resilient, too.

Even at low concentrations, fine particle pollution is tied to increased hospitalizations for kidney disease

Babies exposed to air pollution during pregnancy take longer to learn to speak, research finds

Air pollution making people in UK get long-term illnesses earlier, study finds

Pollution is ‘silent accelerator that robs individuals of their healthiest years’, say researchers

“More illness, earlier in life, concentrated in the communities already most exposed to poor air quality. Reducing air pollution has to be part of any serious strategy to reduce health inequalities, ease pressure on the NHS, and improve population health.”

Our @Breathe_London node at Linden Children Centre shows No2 levels 5 times over the WHO legal limits.

We live on a residential road with no trees and carrying the whole A10 southbound.

All our community asks for is trees to help w #AirPollution🌳

This is the No2 live right now from our @Breathe_London node by Linden Children Centre, showing high No2 from the A10 Southbound.
We have been campaigning for the past 6 years asking for measures to reduce #Airpollution with trees.
Our lungs matter too
@LDN_environment

[Rectory Rd N16 Residents Association 🚶🏾‍♂️🚴 🌳 @N16Rectory]

Not for communities on red routes. After 6 years of campaigning asking for trees we are still getting high No2 from the A10 southbound and have not a single tree to help with #Airpollution

Thanks @Breathe_London for the ongoing support and for providing us with the node/data.💚
