We've objected to plans to demolish 68–69 Fenchurch Street.

We believe this Edwardian building should be adapted, not demolished. The proposal would harm the character of the Lloyd's Avenue Conservation Area, and alternatives have not been properly explored.

@OpenChiswickW4 Great but, when is it going to be completed from West Chiswick to Kew Bridge??

[Will Norman @willnorman]

Hounslow Council's LTN in South Chiswick has dramatically cut traffic and reduced speeding.

Introduced in 2020 to stop rat running in the Grove Park area, 6 yrs on it's made it safer, cut traffic by 28% and residents want to keep it.

There is an escape route for Labour from certain disaster at the general election: use their Commons majority to ram through PR. It’s cynical, + they’d never govern alone again, but it locks Reform out of No10. The left (Lab, Gr, LD) still have a majority over the right in the UK

Very happy to publish the first ever scientific review of city-wide #30kmh speed limit benefits in Europe. Evaluation results from 40 cities revealed that 30 km/h speed limit led to significant reductions in fatalities, emissions and fuel consumption.

🧵 If the Tories come third, it changes everything.

Coming second would allow them to rebuild as the official Opposition.

But third place should finish them. It may take time, but they'd be walking dead.

It would also put Brexit back on the agenda, at last.

Here's why:

Great stuff. We need to catch up. Bollards and ‘superblocks’: how Europe’s cities are turning on the car. https://t.co/16NEr2GlXy

[Sky News @SkyNews]

Journalist Emily Maitlis has hit out at the BBC - her former employer - claiming its board has been infiltrated by a Conservative Party agent and former Downing Street spin doctor whom she claims is now an 'arbiter of BBC impartiality'.

Very good piece on the home working debate. I really don’t understand why politicians and journalists are so exercised by the issue. Businesses and people will figure out what works for them. https://t.co/ps9OQQH8SJ

@HammersmithBri1 Also, it could make a fabulous garden bridge at much much lower cost than the original….

[HammersmithBridge.org.uk @HammersmithBri1]

This weekend marks 3 years since #hammersmithbridge was closed to motor traffic. It came as a shock to many, but we have now had plenty of time to get used to it. With local elections coming up, I’d like to see politicians committing to keeping the bridge closed to cars for good.

Terrific playing @RichardGowers, great range of colour and lovely composition @G_E_Mason / nice to hear it and the French works on such a beautiful organ.

The Winter Solstice at the end of today. Hammersmith/Chiswick. Amazing despite the anticyclonic gloom.
