Fake cobwebs like these may look spooky – but what's really scary about them is that they can trap & injure wildlife, including birds, insects & small mammals. And fake webs aren't recyclable – so will end up in landfill for many years.

And there’s a map to find the splendid mosaics. It’s beautiful book showcasing ‘The Hackney Mosaic Project’ which helps people with addiction & mental health problems, while also improving neglected corners of the city.’

Grade II listed heritage #finsburypark degraded possibly beyond recovery by @haringeycouncil after another lockout for summer mega festivals. Park users sit on dirt for picnics.
Weeks later: park remains in poor state with drought looming, yet @haringey.gov.uk committed to exploiting green heritage rather than reducing frequency & charging £bn fest organisers more! @cprelondon.bsky.social @hackneycouncil.bsky.social @islington-council.bsky.social @parksforlondon.org.uk

A joy to see this thoughtfully planted area in Finsbury Park: dead-hedge borders & planting for pollinators; all done by volunteers of @FinsParkFriends #rewilders group, creating habitat for wildlife. So good to see such care & love for our much-beleaguered Park. Bit of a contrast @haringeycouncil

This is the same focus as the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority: income generation, not acting as environmental custodians.
The LVRPA also plan to accelerate their Corporate Land & Property Strategy to dispose of land across the Lee Valley Park to 'raise revenue'.

The City of London has billions of pounds in the bank. So why is it trying to cut its funding for historic open spaces such as Hampstead Heath and increase commercial revenue on the open spaces?
