This week we've delivered 66 Stormwater planters for @thameswater in the OX3 (Oxford) area. Very happy customers loving their new storm water management devices, and importantly now slowing the flow of rainfall from roof spaces, easing the pressure on drains in flash flood events

Sadly our music studio in Peckham that provides a safe space for young people to unleash their creative musical and video production talents is struggling to find the funds to keep the doors open. Please share and support our crowdfunder if you can https://t.co/kaYZa16Cys

Do you have any water saving hacks? You know not to run the water when you’re brushing your teeth but there are so many other little ways you could save water in the home. Thanks to @groundworkuk and @thameswater for working with me on this video.
