Many people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - why they’re seeing them on the ground - so here’s a quick thread to explain what they’re up to. Please #retweet as every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year! 1/8
Good news -the price of hiring an electric cargo bike for longer journeys has fallen from £5 an hour to £3. Journeys of up to two hours are free. Residents and business can hire the bikes from outside businesses in Battersea and Tooting. Find out more ▶️wandsworth.gov.uk/news/august-20…
I am not giving up on my petition to tax plastic grass for its ecological damage. 1 week to go and I need everyones help to get to 100,000 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6082…
It's a sad and puzzling weekend for #Tooting - we've irreperably lost the beautiful magnolia on Rectory Lane. Does the @BishopSouthwark have any answers why?
The difference between mowed and unmowed in the Rec and yet the @EnableParks mowers are going over the patch on the right today kicking up dust. Time for a change of policy? @wandbc @JudiG @FurzedownFOFR
This is an explainer and a half! #ECHR
Unless you want another thousand odd plastic gardens popping up near you, please help friend of #ShitLawns @maggiem30026514 get this petition over the line. It takes seconds 👍💪🏾

Step-free access on Potters Lane underpass? A safe walking and cycling route from #Tooting to #Streatham? Well there could be - sign the petition for Wandsworth Council to make this important link safer, more attractive and easier to use -democracy.wandsworth.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDis…
The brilliant moment Ian Hislop and @PrivateEyeNews journalists began quizzing MPs in the standards committee about their own registers of interests. MP: "It's not an excuse, it's a fact." Hislop: "You're using a fact as an excuse - and it's not terribly convincing." 🔥
Two points of info: 1) the data the Telegraph analysed for this story found fire crews reported two and half times as many incidents of delays from TRAFFIC as they did from 'traffic calming' in 2021. Weirdly no mention of this in their story, and no 'fury' from LTN critics 1/2

The Try Before You Bike scheme is a chance to find out if cycling is for you. Rent a new or nearly-new bike, cargo bike or electric bike for a monthly fee. If you like it, you can buy it at a discounted price. #TogetherOnClimateChange wandsworth.gov.uk/news/news-janu…
@earlsfield_lab @ChestnutGroveA @willnorman @hornsbyhousesch @wandscycling I have been walking my children to school along this road for 12 years. The pavement isn’t wide enough for all of the kids and parents (and dogs!) walking or scooting to school. This move is regressive and dangerous. Why isn’t it a school street?
The Tories and @TfL joined forces to take away the no left turn, put in due to the high incidence of collisions on Chestnut Grove and given the children cycling to school some magic paint. Outstanding slide back in the race to #VisionZero
Tories are celebrating removing the no left turn into Chestnut Grove for motorists. Here’s a video from 2019 which shows how this will impact the journey to school for the local children. eta.co.uk/2019/05/16/pop… @ChestnutGroveA @willnorman @hornsbyhousesch @wandscycling
Can you confirm whether you liaised with @ChestnutGroveA and it’s impact on the children at the school before you lobbied for this?

Hey @wandbc - @CamdenCouncil got it right today. Why aren’t you trying to cut pollution and save lives?
Hey @wandbc - @CamdenCouncil got it right today. Why aren’t you trying to cut pollution and save lives?
Londoners have been warned to limit outdoor exercise tomorrow when "very high" pollution levels are expected 80% of parents living in London or Greater London said they're ‘quite’ or ‘extremely worried’ about the impact of air pollution on their children’s health, in our survey.
