@LDN_environment @MayorofLondon Except that the @MayorofLondon’s heat plan overlooks a rising cause of health-harming heat.
The loss of #frontgardens to hard surfacing, often to park a vehicle or more has consequences for fire and rescue, councils and others, but no one is taking responsibility to lead.
Fine, except that the @MayorofLondon’s heat plan overlooks a rising cause of health-harming heat.
The loss of #frontgardens to hard surfacing, often to park a vehicle or more has consequences for fire and rescue, councils and others, but no one is taking responsibility to lead.
Our first-ever city heat plan, Heat Ready London, sets out the actions needed to protect Londoners. Including by:
🏠Retrofitting homes
🍃More tree cover & green spaces
💧More access to blue spaces
🏥Supporting healthcare systems
🚆Strengthening critical infrastructure
And sudden downpours mean pollutants will be swept into our rivers.
Oil, brake fluids / dusts, tyre particles, & other crud that has built up on roads, streets & hard surfaces - including paved-over #frontgardens - will end up in our rivers.
Rain welcome, pollutants aren’t.
Weeks of dry weather can make flooding more likely, not less.
When heavy rain falls on hard, baked ground, water runs off much more quickly, increasing the risk of flash flooding. Take a moment to check you're prepared:

Growing in a patch of tarmac in the front garden, Achillea, today hosting what seem to be greenbottles, it only gets watered by rain and has self seeded there, prefers it to where it was planted. Almost as tall as me. #frontgardens #environment #insects #Greenford #London #UK

The garden is a bit overwhelmed by this Honeywort but the hairy-footed bees love it so it's left to it's own devices as is the Green Alkanet beyond. @pondsntrees

Plant loads of lovely flowers, folks.
Get your #Council to stop other folk pacing over their #FrontGardens

#BeFloodSmart launched by @EnvAgency @floodre
Is the focus on barriers (costly) + gadgets, as in this initial story https://t.co/tzFqYFrBeQ?
Or will it also address how to avoid covering #FrontGardens with hard surfacing?
An obvious flood avoidance measure, isn’t it @luhc ??
Amazing Vanishing Front Gardens -
how covering them with hard surfacing is adding to:
- flood risk
- water pollution
- nature’s demise
- health threats from excessive urban heat

Good to see the National Infrastructure Commission @NatInfraCom highlight the rising risks from the loss of front gardens to hard surfacing https://t.co/enMzTrjIge
Bad for flood risk, nature, urban heat… For solutions see #NationalParkCity #FrontGardens https://t.co/BBaz8hu6ve
Piggy had been repainted. #frontgardens
Loving the clapboard houses in Cambridge, MA 🇺🇸 and the great front gardens (yards). #gardens #frontyards #frontgardens #boston
As more and more #frontgardens succumb to the creeping spread of the brick pavior to provide space for #cars to sleep, the only place left to bring a bit of joy and colour into the #publicrealm is the humble tree-pit.
