A very productive morning weeding outside ⁦⁦@growingforgold⁩ ⁦@EGRA_London⁩. Not a drop of glyphosate in sight! It’s so good to get out there and do something for the local community.I’m sure others will agree! ⁦@ElthamEnviros⁩ #GreenerGreenwichCommunityGroup

Bit concerning to see a @Royal_Greenwich employee telling @KateM45 she’s not allowed to film him as he drives down the wrong side of Vanbrugh Hill in a council vehicle. I trust the council will take this seriously. @MPSGreenwich
⁦Vanburgh hill - a fatal accident waiting to happen. Crossing is terrifying due to drivers coming around the blind bend at speed or using the wrong side of the road- like this guy who told me it was allowed because they are ⁦@Royal_Greenwich⁩ security. @DanLThorpe⁩

Well said Chris. Having lived in a rat-running area (Christchurch Way/Azof St/Bellot St) before and after it became an LTN in the 90's, the difference was amazing. Supported @EGRA_London calls for LTN's in Pelton and Walnut Tree Roads to stop rat-running because of that.

Greenwich society and EGRA gardeners joining residents of Highbridge Wharf in planting the beds in front of Trinity Almshouses on the Thames Path. Huge thanks to @theroyalparks Greenwich for the many wonderful bedding plants and @growingforgold for plants and tools.

Doubt this would have been possible without the modal filter in place on this quiet street formerly a very nasty rat-run.
Sunday afternoon strolling through a low traffic neighbourhood in East Greenwich and came across a harpist playing the most amazing music in her front garden - all socially distanced! 🙂 #community @EGRA_London @SarahJ_Berry @DanLThorpe @Chris_C_Lloyd

One thing I think drivers don't get is that the inconvenience they're experiencing from school streets, LTNs and cycle lanes is miniscule in comparison to the inconvenience other road users have been asked to take for the benefit of drivers over the years.
