Save Ryebank Fields
@ryebankfields.bsky.social
Conscientious Protectors of a rewilded urban green space 💚 under threat of destruction by Manchester Metropolitan University 🚫
@cerysmatthews.bsky.social thanks for featuring Ruth Jackson ahead of #TownPlanningDay …“Who Killed Clayton Square” by Shack was formative to me as a trainee planner in Liverpool in the 90s (I also played SimCity 😅) Planning is mostly about communities, that’s why we campaign to #SaveRyebankFields.

100 years ago, this rewilded urban greenfield space was claypits with only an ancient ditch, a row of magnificent Black Poplars, and a hedgerow. Please join our campaign and object to #MMU plans to build on this special beloved place #RewildingTogether www.saveryebankfields.co.uk/object-now/

The case for Heathrow expansion was commissioned by the airport themselves (ie not independent) and based on methodology the Government itself has discredited!
I spoke to the Observer about the shoddy economics sitting behind Reeves' Heathrow announcement... and the article only covers the half of it... thread

We have more than a 100 oaks, and many of them will be a quarter of a century old this year. Will they make it to a century? Not if Manchester City Council let ManMetUni and Step Places have their way 💔

Ten thousand 🙏 to everyone who has signed our petition to ban driven grouse shooting!
The Govt will now have to respond.
But we're not finished yet - we want a parliamentary debate and for that we need 100,000 signatures.
Can you help us reach our target?

There is growing evidence that we are experiencing an acceleration in the rate of climate warming. I posted earlier that the rate of CO2 increase observed in the Keeling Curve had shifted from 9 yr for a local min CO2 to become a local max near the 1960’s to just 3 yrs near present. 🧪
Has global warming accelerated in recent decades? If we look at the rate of warming between 1970 and 2008 and extend it through present, we see that almost all years since 2015 are above the previous trend.
