My first post! Just listen to the tawny owl hooting in Greenwich Park, very close to Our Ladye Star of the Sea. #owls #Greenwich #Wildlife @rspb.bsky.social #GreenwichPark #Autumn

As your Green Party London Assembly Member, I’ll make sure the Mayor and TfL keep listening to all Londoners as they tweak the details of how the Oxford Street pedestrianisation works out so it is inclusive and accessible to all.

Planting a tree means nothing if it dies a week later. Local authority tree planting is down 45%, and the trees we do plant are heavily imported, bringing biosecurity risks with them. @nationaltrust.org.uk #EcoSky #TreePlanting #GrownInBritain

London accounts for the highest value of long-term empty housing stock among English regions. The capital has 47,287 long-term vacant homes, representing 45% of London’s total 105,138 vacant properties. www.propertywire.com/news/england...

Really proud of the work of my Assembly Colleague @carolinerussell.bsky.social to support these workers. www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...

Government support for drilling at #Jackdaw takes a wrecking ball to any pretence of UK climate leadership & pours fuel on an overheating world - and for what? It’s equivalent to just 2 months of UK gas demand, creates just 27 direct jobs & has *no* impact on energy bills🧵1/4

En démocratie, on peut et on doit débattre de tous les sujets. Mais rien ne saurait justifier la violence dont nous avons été les témoins.

We’re relying on a housing model built around delivering more market-rate homes and investment opportunities, rather than homes Londoners can actually afford to live in. The Mayor needs to change course. We can’t solve London’s housing crisis by treating housing primarily as an asset to invest in

Go to your camera roll and search “boat” and then post a picture of a boat you like.

A photography work assignment has taken me through the Woolwich foot tunnel. Good to see counter weights and cables ready for installation at the north lift. People who use this tunnel to get to work or Uni of east London will be relieved. #WoolwichFootTunnel #ActiveTravel

I told the planning board that affordable housing & family homes were not enough when we have a 28k waiting list. 3% down from 8% in the Third Addendum. Cllr Smith conveyed concerns from Creekside Discovery Centre & the carbon footprint is another concern. greenwichwire.co.uk/2026/10/14/d...

#AssemblyTransport Chair @carolinerussell.bsky.social spoke with Rags Martel of ITV London about the Committee report into Robocabs. Read 'Who’s driving the future of autonomous transport in London?' here: www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...

5 UN human rights experts have raised “substantive concerns” about the pesticide omnibus. They warn that the proposed changes on pesticide and biocide rules would weaken protections for human health & the environment, & undermine fundamental human rights. www.pan-europe.info/press-releas...

If Zack wins, Burnham will be forced to deliver on his promises for water nationalisation, and he'll have to scrap North Sea drilling. Holborn and St Pancras, #BackZack!

Ms Dent Coad said: “Holborn and St Pancras needs an MP who understands that the current housing model has failed those who need genuinely affordable homes, and who will support leaseholders battling an archaic system that disadvantages and silences them." www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

“Developers have been quick to market Deptford’s proximity to the creek as "luxury riverside living", whilst the actual experience for residents at street level is one of near exclusion”.

🚨 New research by us! 📣 Most British drivers don't know how dangerous SUVs are to other road users, but adding information to SUV marketing materials seems to do almost nothing to change people's plans to buy SUVs Here's a 🧵 on why harder action is going to be needed 1/10

The foiling of another attack on Manchester’s Jewish community reflects concerns heard at my local Synagogue. In Parliament I raised solidarity. There are ways to build community without creating further dividing lines and we must all play our part. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Silvertown tunnel yearly report. It’s good to see all new bus services are zero emission at the tail pipe, but a lot more to look at such as the bike bus with only 100 -130 users a day, averaging only one bike & cyclist per bus. Why not repurpose a tunnel bore? #ActiveTravel #cargobikes #cyclists

The government’s action on illegal Israeli settlements is long overdue, but action must go much further. The UK must stop supplying arms to Israel, including F-35 components, and end its complicity in the genocide.

Your 13 Green councillors have been hard at work scrutinising Greenwich‘s Local Plan and I’m relieved our response is now in! Time to relax (just a bit!) with some urban nature photography (Sunflowers in shadow of St Alfeges planted by local volunteers). #UrbanNature #Wildlife #Greenwich

I knew today was going to be big. I didn’t know we’d have so many volunteers that we’d leaflet the ENTIRE constituency in just two hours (!!) - 80,000 leaflets. And we got to speak to so many people on their doorsteps. This is how we win this campaign. Thank you, everyone. 🙏🏽

I was honoured to attend The University of Greenwich and the University of Kent official public launch today. To mark the occasion, they unveiled a specially commissioned light sculpture, ‘The LASE Gateway’. lase.ac.uk @uniofgreenwich.bsky.social

Exciting to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social putting his hat in the ring for the Holborn & St Pancras by-election - a really powerful way to shake up Westminster, champion social & environmental justice & put pressure on the PM to be far bolder. Me on @bbcpm.bsky.social

Spoke with @lbc.co.uk earlier about Heathrow expansion and the concerns of the cross party Transport Committee about the impact on public transport and local roads of many more people trying to access an expanded airport. (Quite apart from my personal view that airport expansion is not ok).

Stacy and I were out and about today in Greenwich Park Ward looking at fly tipping hot spots, assessing weeds for manual removal, and looking at potential sites for pocket parks. #BanGlyphosate @paneurope.bsky.social www.greenergreenwichcommunitynetwork.org

ULEZ was never a crack down on people driving, always a push for better respiratory health. 🚗 💨 “Examinations of London schoolchildren before and after the introduction of the city’s ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) found a restoration of lung capacity […] stunted by exposure to pollution”.
