These kids will. Please pledge your support below.🙏
We are delighted with Islington Council’s decision to revoke the licence for
@Ocado

Quite why anybody would want to suppress the voices of concerned parents and neighbours complaining about a FTSE 100 company building a massive depot next to a primary school is anybody's guess. But here we are…
The children of Yerbury have protested against Ocado & Marks and Spencer opening a damaging 24/7 depot next to their school for months. Islington Council have the power to stop them. For their sake and generations after them, they must.

So inspiring! I hope one day we can send a tweet saying we won to protect our school also. From Islington to New Islington - well done

Fantastic video from Little Ninja 🙏🙏🙏, showing how we can have our food delivered without choking up our lungs and streets. Watch the video and ask yourself, why on earth did

@Ocado
are trampling over the children,the school + the community.
@IslingtonBC
must enforce the revocation!
#nocado
For the next 2 days
@ocado
will be in the High Court.
The reason? They want to open an intensive distribution right NEXT DOOR to Yerbury Primary School, home to almost 500 CHILDREN.

In the most densely populated borough in London, Whittington Park is a haven 🌳🍃🍂, a pocket of greenery, a chance for children to play away from roads.
@Ocado
cannot be allowed to industrialise this space with a giant 24/7 depot with 100s of cars, motorbikes & vans.
#nocado
All over London, parents and residents are protecting their communities from aggressive developers bent on polluting little children.
The planning system is not for for purpose. Best of luck
@ScrapTheYard_WN
We are absolutely over the moon that

“One of the key issues in our borough is air quality and the impact of the climate emergency on our health.”
@islingtonBC
must say no to

❌No to pollution & noise.
✅Yes to children’s health.

And for the sake of thousands of primary school children in North London,
@Ocado
must not be allowed to build a polluting 24/7 depot next to a primary school!
