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.

On the fifth anniversary of Brexit, I want all European Londoners to know that you are welcome and wanted in our city.

Look for starter packs on themes that interest you, I think that's the easiest way to build a community. And of course engage with others, like, comment so as to be seen. (Will follow you from my other accounts, although improvasing here too)

Still much better for people to travel to central London by public transport than by car though. #CleanAir
