Current levels of common pollutants in the #RiverLea.
We have consistently Poor levels of phosphate. A better picture for nitrogen in ammonia levels, but there have been some unexplained spikes.
The authorities should be collecting this data - and acting on it!

Lost Nature: a must-read report.
Thank you @wildjustice.bsky.social
Makes us reflect on all the pressure we put on the LVRPA to deliver new habitats when it rebuilt the ice centre. Clearly time well spent - unlike most promised - they were actually delivered.

Important planning decisions always seem to take place at Christmas!
Today Waltham Forest Council officially submitted its Local Plan 2 to the Planning Inspectorate.
We regard this plan as unsuitable and risky. Keep posted here in the early new year about developments and action.

The digested report digested:
6m homes at-risk of flooding; London properties most at-risk from surface water flooding - 4.6m at-risk in total (43% increase from previous EA assessment); 88% increase in those at highest risk; flood defences cut by 40%
= no excuse for building on floodplain here!
