It's partly because of programmes such as RIS2 that we have to spend money retrofitting local streets to try to mitigate the impacts of climate change; but it is something we have to do now anyway.

So despite all the fuss and noise, new data shows that the ULEZ expansion hasn’t hurt high street spending - it’s just helped clean up London’s air 💚

Esther Road in Waltham Forest was subject to bad flooding in 2021.

Parking out, rain gardens in. Beautiful, urban cooling, mental health boosting, biodiverse, flood mitigating awesomeness.
