Thanks for retweeting this @LBofBromley. Surely the time has come for you to formally declare that there is a climate emergency, and do everything you can to combat it? @FoEBromley @BromleyGreens @BromleyLS @GreenercleanerB all have excellent ideas they would be happy to share!

So, I raised my concern about this tweet yesterday, and how both it, and the link, seemed to be using public resources for political purposes, as well as failing to be even-handed. @LBofBromley is yet to reply 1/n
A proposal to expand inner London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to London’s greenest borough has been condemned as a cynical tax raid against the borough’s residents ow.ly/sb9i50K4jOX

E.g., para 16 of the Code of Practice states " local authorities should not use public funds to mount publicity campaigns whose primary purpose is to persuade the public to hold a particular view on a question of policy."

No diversion sign at Lower Sydenham end either. Irony is that a) if a road was closed then @LBofBromley would put in a diversion sign and b) said sign would probably obstruct a pavement! @BromleyLS @GreenercleanerB

@LBofBromley @SustransLondon No diversion here for the Pool River Path between Lennard Rd/Kingsley Bridge Rd? This is not just a local path as it's part of LCN21 and Waterlink Way, so can't expect everyone to know local area or have a charged smartphone!!

Lovely street party in Woodbastwick Road yesterday. Meeting new neighbours, children playing in the street and live music. But why does @LBofBromley only allow one free street closure per year? @BromleyLS @londonplay @GreenercleanerB

By my count, Brexit Article 50 case has 23 barristers acting ... depressing to see that just 3 are women

@AdamWagner1 @carlgardner Any thoughts as to whether JR consultation is unlawful because Grayling's DM article expresses conclluded view?
