I know I shouldn’t be surprised but - my ex husband who has lived and worked here for over 50 years no longer feels he can continue to enjoy the walking group he joins every Tuesday in Valentines Park, as some folk are asking him why he lives here and not where he was born ( Spain)
Saddened by this.

Fantastic to show @livingstreets.bsky.social around the Royal Docks Corridor today!
The improvements are already making a difference — safer crossings, greener streets, and better spaces for people.
It’s exciting to see how the corridor is becoming a welcoming, people-first route. 🌳🚶♀️🚲

Starvation is being used as a weapon of war. Children are innocent victims of this outrage & suffer terribly.

This is one of the issues London Labour insiders raised with me in this piece on Labour & London – Labour is taking the votes of the capital for granted, and is about to impose major local government austerity on councils who were hard hit first time round.

London has reached a watershed moment in its long-running battle with air pollution: for the first time in decades, evidence suggests that all Londoners are now breathing cleaner air, thanks largely to the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

The results show that the policy is having a marked effect: transport emissions are falling, vehicle fleets are becoming cleaner, and the air quality benefits are being felt even in outer boroughs.

The gains also have wider public health and social justice implications. Communities in more deprived areas, who have long borne the brunt of poor air quality, are now among those experiencing the greatest improvements.

Canning Town was a centre of the Suffragette movement, pioneered by women like Norah Smyth.
Her action supported women across the East End, at a time of great social change.

NEU staff are on strike today and tomorrow.
We can’t beleive it’s come to this. Striking as a trade union worker requires an absurd amount of things to go wrong — because you spend everyday making the union you love the kind of organisation people want to join - you only ever want to see it win.
