Greenwich Green Party

Congratulations to our new Greenwich Green councillor @tamasinrhymes. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen. And thank you to the previous Shooters Hill councillor @iviswill for her support and laying the ground for Tamasin. greenwichwire.co.uk/2025/06/27/lab…

Scottish Greens speak ⁦@scottishgreens⁩ Patrick Harvie: “Trump is a dangerous, fraudulent, misogynistic climate-change denier who claims to love our country while destroying our natural landscapes with garish golf courses & resorts for the wealthy.” archive.is/2025.07.26-174…

Hasn’t finance for car sales helped the increase of SUV sales? 54% of the cars sold in 2024 were SUVs, including petrol, diesel, hybrids and electric makes. Result? The world is heating up. ⁦@RachelReevesMP⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Today I was honoured to attend a hugely important event on Vision Zero at City Hall, ran by the indomitable Assembly member Caroline Russell, Green group leader and Transport Lead. She started with a powerful speech. “Vision Zero is the most important policy that TFL has. - 1/12

‘Guess he forgot?’ Clearly @Len_Duvall doesn’t use the lift himself. I can understand why politicians representing central and W London - with their myriad bridges - don’t care about us here in S E London, but Mr Duvall? You were elected to care. What are you doing about this?

We’ve been doing some research and found this. Yet at the full council meeting last night the answers were wholly inadequate. Functionality is not being maintained (Woolwich north lift hasn’t worked for three years) & we ask who, exactly, wrote this uninformed response?

At last! Greenwich Green, Cllr Tamasin Rhymes at her first full Council meeting last night asking questions on behalf of constituents. So proud.

Two Hammersmith and Fulham councillors defect over toxic Labour culture and are critical of government policy on housing, immigration and disability mylondon.news/news/west-lond… @Lizcollins777 @Trey_CS

Proof that Silvertown itself, contrary to the Mayor and @SebDance's claims, actually increases traffic and pollution. Even the weekend tolls of £1.50 on Blackwall aren't enough to counteract this increase. The weekday tolls of £1.50 and £4 at peak do manage to, so far.

Proof here that the Labour candidate’s letter sent out to residents during the Shooters Hill by-election contained falsehoods. Thank you for checking @iviswill. Residents deserve better. Who will be held to account for this? @refpoliticalads

Changing the narrative and altering the language around driving. An excellent report by Caroline Russell, Transport Lead at the London Assembly london.gov.uk/caroline-russe…

“2015-2023 the fossil fuel sector received £20bn more support than renewables; £80bn versus £60bn. It’s not difficult to work out why Reform UK don’t want to challenge oil & gas subsidies; they are financed by backers with huge interests in that sector.” lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/25330622.…

It was frustrating to see nothing has changed at Orchard estate. Repairs teams are literally papering over the cracks or just doing nothing at all despite a survey published *three years ago*. On another estate we saw raw sewage - we now have a case number & thank online staff.

Some good news! It's very encouraging that @Royal_Greenwich have adopted our initiative for residents to opt out of glyphosate spraying on their street.

Greenwich Greens Stacy and Karin in action again today. Whether it’s litter picking, removing weeds where they cause a trip hazard, speaking to residents on the Orchard estate or saving a tree here & there, it’s all about getting things done.

Could people cycling outnumber drivers in London in the coming years? It's already happened in the City of London at peak commuting times and cycling journeys are a third of Tube journeys each day, and keep rising. inews.co.uk/news/charts-sh…

“We’re trying to be more positive about how we adapt gardens and habitats to the threat of climate change & the carbon cycle & highlight some of the solutions or at least the mitigations that we can make to manage some of the impacts of climate change.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

Our Watering Champions have been vital over the past few weeks as we've faced unusually high temperatures ☀️🌡️ With hotter summers becoming our new normal, we need even more people to pledge to look after their local street trees. Will you step up? Find out more 👉…

I have contacted the Royal Parks management to see if a solution can be found during busier times but an extra bin or two out on the street might be helpful at this time of year.
