💡What if we could use data to identify the places most at risk from air pollution? That’s what our Air Pollution Risk Index tool is designed to do. 🔗 Check out the interactive data here: urbanhealth.org.uk/insights/data/…
Sounds very similar to @barkingriver - don’t worry - BRL haven’t built a health centre; they’ve put on a yoga class. No supermarket, no bars, restaurants, not much of anything, really, except soulless flats & high yield investment opportunities.

The housing barrister at @lbbdcouncil promised to tell me the balance of our reserve fund “asap” on 4th July 2024. More than a year later, I am still chasing for a balance from Adam Rulewski. Council employees have told me that the council have spent out reserve funds on day…
This comes after what EA insiders say is years of avoidance + cover up from government over the presence of hazardous chemicals in sewage sludge spread over 152,000 hectares of UK farmland a year, as Watershed's @RachSalv reports: share.google/TcmGlQi7X3SMJi…
If you can pay billions in dividends while polluting our rivers, you shouldn’t get a bailout. Fine them until they collapse and take them into national ownership. You can’t privatise the profit but not the risk.

Thames21 has long called for a better way to manage our water sector. A new report has been published today by the Independent Water Commission, chaired by Sir Jon Cunliffe. It follows nine months of engagement, analysis and research.🧵⬇️More details here: gov.uk/government/pub…
Rather than fining water companies in cash, the finds should be levied in equity in the company. This can be achieved via a mandatory rights issue in the event that pollution is in breach of the rules. Companies abusing their position of power over national infrastructure…

Feargal Sharkey explains that this £100bn figure everyone keeps quoting for the cost to renationalise the water industry comes from a report by the private companies! Feargal then outlines why nationalising the water industry wouldn't cost us a penny #GMB
This really says it all. One of the most respected water activists submits a detailed dossier on water company illegality to the Cunliffe review & they completely ignore the issue, proposing instead a new regulator who can continue to ignore the rampant criminality in the water…
Cunliffe doesn't refer to "illegality". Only once to "illegal" saying it is difficult to say "whether a storm overflow discharge is legal or illegal. I submitted extensive evidence of water company illegality but no reference is made. @Feargal_Sharkey @MattStaniek @WindrushWasp

I’ve made my final ever service charge payment to @lbbdcouncil , my final extortionate energy bill to Barking & Dagenham energy. Hello disposable income.

A reminder that the river Roding a home to wildlife - not somewhere for developers to dump excess building materials.
On a light hearted note, Members of the Ripple Effect Group and a guest, took part in a butterfly count on the Footpath 47 This weekend, near the 'Drum and Point'. How lovely! @footpath47
