More of the demon dumper’s medical and other waste flytipped into the #RiverQuaggy at #LeeGreen where it flows from #Greenwich borough into #Lewisham. This had been going on for months + years. It’s not clear what the councils are doing. We have raised this with 5 local councillors. One replied.

What a fantastic week for #BlytheHill as amazing volunteers dug up a huge hole, built hedges, and made a dream come true, a new wildlife pond. Can’t wait to see frogs, newts and dragonflies enjoying it soon. #lewisham #wildlondon #southlondon #froglife #pond www.instagram.com/reel/DV4RqIM...

Our letter to @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social @emmahardymp.bsky.social & others, asking them to rethink allowing #WoodBurning stoves in new builds. Thanks to the many others who co-signed, and to @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social, Prof Jill Belch & Prof Sir Stephen Holgate for adding their voices.

A letter to government reacting to the news that wood burning stoves will be allowed as secondary heating in new build homes. We explain that wood burning is not carbon neutral and has no place in the Future Homes and Buildings Standards.

Low tide on a sunny morning on Deptford Creek, the lower end of the Ravensbourne #TidesOutTuesday

A photograph taken underneath a railway bridge it shows the base of two of the supports of the bridge, one partially in sun. Beyond is the river at low tide which goes through the middle of its channel, either side is mud flats. On the left hand bank there are buildings - next to the river are the rainbow pastel shades of Trinity Laban a school of music and dance. Behind that a tall very light residential block.
