Hackney Marshes Users Group 🍃💚🍃

Until August 2022 this was a group aiming to use, appreciate & when necessary defend Hackney Marshes, a unique common land green space in east London.

HMUG has decided to close down. Its time seems to have passed. These are doing good work on the marsh: @SaveLeaMarshes @plasticfreehkny @DobbyWoods @IanSnakeGeek @TM_Hackney @WGHaggerston

Also interesting: @ELWaterworks @CanalRegent @hackneyparkrun

For reasons see https://t.co/u9Lnil976N
I hope to leave the website site up for now -- it contains a lot of history.
I may post stuff at @hackneymartian, I'll see how it goes.

[Hackney Council @hackneycouncil]

'It's like a tinderbox' @carowoodley was on @BBCLondonNews last night to urge residents to work together to prevent further fires in Hackney's parks

Remember:
🚫 Don’t BBQ
🚫 Don’t leave glass on the ground
🚫 Don’t drop cigarette butts

Call 999 if you see fire/smouldering

My #WorldMentalHealthDay would be so much better if you stopped dumping raw sewage and wet wipes down my local river. #savethelea

The most draconian parts of the @CanalRiverTrust “safety zones” are going ahead. Join us at Daubeney Fields on Sunday to show @CanalRiverTrust that we can see through their lies.

Even though CRT backed down over the so called 'safety zones', they are continuing to put up “no mooring” signs at 33 sites between Tottenham & Hackney and 9 sites in Broxbourne. These are all the places CRT were planning to make no mooring as part of the 'safety zones'. 1/3

"Sewage pipes are being replaced so slowly by water companies that it will take 2,000 years to renew the whole network at the current rate".

Water companies have paid out over £60bn in dividends to shareholders. Now you know how they did it.

The colours on our juvenile male #kingfisher are simply outstanding, they are amplified on a dull day. Love seeing this chap on the River Lea. #Hackney #HackneyMarshes #LondonBirds #BirdsSeenIn2021 #TwitterNatureCommunity #birds #nature #birdphotography

[London Waterkeeper @LDNWaterkeeper]

A diligent & compelling case made for the water industry regulator @Ofwat to prioritise the health of rivers.
By preventing adequate investment in infrastructure Ofwat has made rivers carry the burden.
It's why they are used as an extension of the sewer system or over-abstracted.

ICYMI: Here’s what you can expect over the festival weekend. ✌️

Check out the main stage line-up. 👊

[Katy Beale @katybeale]

Last chance to object to the planning application which will block enough sunlight from our allotment to make growing impossible for most plots. We were promised a more considerate development. And want the new community there - but not like this!

We are #BeaverBelievers but here you have it folks… the sham reintroduction of the “BeaVOLEr” when @EnfieldCouncil @thameswater @LDN_environment @EnvAgencySE does NOTHING to safeguard our wondrous relict population of #criticallyendangered #WaterVole #StateOfNature @gow_derek
