Devastated to hear that the Mayor will be ripping out the school street scheme around Chisenhale Primary School on Monday. This scheme was designed to protect our borough's children from air pollution and cars. A shameful and irresponsible act.

Really enjoyed joining this lovely group of people today to protest against @TowerHamletsNow 's use of glyphosate (very harmful weed killer). We staged a die-in and delivered a letter to @LutfurRahmanTH and CEO, Will Tuckley to highlight the harm that the chemical causes.

Concerns over recent consultations to remove low traffic measures in Tower Hamlets are culminating in a potential legal challenge on the legality of the consultations. Show your support for evidence-based decision-making by supporting the campaign.

We're CROWDFUNDING a potential legal challenge against the council's flawed plans to re-open residential roads in Bethnal Green to heavy traffic . The mayor is ignoring evidence and not listening to residents. Please support our cause for safer streets:

Had a brilliant morning being shown Bywaters' recycling recovery facility in Bow. Big thanks to the staff who explained the facility in great detail and to @TowerHamletsNow officers for organising our visit. Side note: my first 'politician-in-a-hard-hat' moment!

Sorry for tweeting on parochial matters. If you live in Wapping please use the consultation to oppose plans to scrap our hard fought-for bus gate. These plans will divert heavy arterial traffic through narrow residential streets and past two schools, and are a disgrace.

More outdated traffic policies coming from @LutfurRahmanTH 's administration: Planned removal of low traffic area on Old Bethnal Green Road: Have your say in the consultation here:

Plans by @LutfurRahmanTH & @AspireParty to rip out the Liveable Streets schemes in Bethnal Green are the most cynical kind of pro-motorist civic vandalism, sending more cars past schools and homes, and justifying that with outright false claims about childrens' health.

I'm supporting @MelHorrocks19 & @AshRouth who are running as GPEx Chairs to ensure the fair application of Party rules to every member. I believe they are safe hands we need to oversee smooth running of the party that will work to get more Greens elected. Go Mel and Ash!

I was shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a teenager and serious injury to another teenager here in Bow last night. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of those affected.

Happy to see smiles in #PattyHeavenBow after I found out that this business had been incorrectly classed as a bar and denied essential #COVID19 business funds. I highlighted this to the local councillor who has made contact and hopefully the grant application will be progressed!

Had a great time today at @kewgardens with @maxfraserdesign talking to visitors about a world without pollinators. The stall tricks by them into thinking we were selling drinks, but our menu only had items available that would still exist without pollinators. 💚

It was great to meet so many people and organisations today at the Coldfire Festival in Mile End Park. The festival was set up to generate conversation about youth mental health and combat the biggest killer of under 35s: suicide. Well done to all involved!
