Escalators delivered by rail! Our volunteers worked tirelessly to make this happen (3500 signatures on our petition!). Let’s now rescue our foot tunnels! Please sign the petition in link 👉https://www.escalate-now.com/

This is great but it’s a shame commuters (4k users daily!) in Greenwich using the foot tunnels have to contend with unreliable lifts. Can’t the mayor take a serious look at renovating these vital cross river links, get TfL
to step in & manage them? Petition in the link: www.escalate-now.com

It’s a shame London’s Retrofitting Rates are going at such a slow pace

Useful (and I hope helpful) clarification from the Mayor that he appreciates that car clubs contribute to exceptionally low levels of car ownership (and use) in inner London.

Greenwich Green spokesperson Stacy Smith said the council should build on the land itself. “This is such short term thinking from the council,” she told The Greenwich Wire.

Very disappointing that Greenwich Council doesn’t take the issue of wet leaves on steep streets very seriously. I was asked by a group of residents to organise leaf clearing on very steep and dangerous Point Hill (not on the council schedule!).Today we got things done.

I know this was back in the summer but on this dull, rainy day it's nice to look back. Love this article and photos by my friend, Candy Blackham about #WoolwichCommon in her lovely book 'Green Greenwich' www.salamandernews.org/late-summer-...

It feels like countryside, but we are in London and only nine miles from Trafalgar Square.

Migrants aren’t the cause of inequality, the housing shortage or cuts to services, and they shouldn’t be treated as scapegoats.
 
We reject reforms that replace compassion with conditionality.

💯 with you on that. Our UNESCO heritage site certainly does need urgent improvements! Greenwich foot tunnel is also of great historical value & an *invaluable asset* for commuters.Struggling up & down steps with a bike, pram (no chance for wheelchairs) is unacceptable. @inclusionlondon.bsky.social

"With high numbers of families in temporary housing, wouldn’t it make much more sense to reserve some of this prime land for the council to build social housing on? At the very least one of these car parks should be kept for council homes instead of selling them off for peanuts.”
