We know there is a housing crisis but that doesn’t mean developers can hold us hostage by picking & choosing which parts of planning they stick to
This is about more than just using different coloured paint. This is a parody of what was promised our residents deserve much better
A council has ordered 2 apartment blocks in South East London to be demolished for breaching planning conditions - despite tenants having already moved in.
The £36 million Mast Quay development in Woolwich is 'substantially different' to the approved plans, Greenwich Council

This decision is not taken lightly, but I believe it is reasonable & proportionate to the scale & seriousness of the situation.
Mast Quay Phase II is not good enough because the development that was given planning permission is not the one that we can all see before us today.
We've taken the decision, as the local planning authority, to progress with enforcement action against the Comer Homes Group’s Mast Quay Phase II. Read the latest...

Development needs to include playgrounds & open spaces for a reason. It needs to be accessible for a reason. We need to follow the rules for a reason.
That reason is because spaces need to support people's welfare. It needs to promote lives, rather than, hinder living experience
Good points by Greenwich leader
@MrOkereke
This line of questioning plus headlines seen in the Guardian are exactly why the developer completely ignored what was approved when they ignored so many conditions

I'm delighted that Woolwich has been selected by
@SadiqKhan
&
@amylame
as a Night Time Enterprise Zone. This offers a fantastic opportunity to boost our ongoing work to encourage more people to support Woolwich businesses & spend time in our high streets.
NEW: Bromley, Vauxhall and Woolwich are London's new Night Time Enterprise Zones.
Each will receive £130K to extend opening hours, boost footfall and make high streets more inclusive after 6pm.
Thanks to
@nightczar
@amylame
for all your hard work.

Congratulations to

. I am excited to work with you, alongside all Greenwich Labour Councillors.
It is our job to meet the challenges to come, together, and to show the difference a Labour Council makes in our communities.
I want to thank my Labour friends for putting their trust in me as their Deputy Leader. I look forward to working with
@MrOkereke
to build on the wonderful foundation laid by
@DanLThorpe
and the Labour team.

No meat in the house. I bought KFC the day before. When I got home from work there was rice & stew. The flavours did not correlate.

We're uniting with
@ThamesReach
to end rough sleeping. Proud to sign & back the London Charter to End Rough Sleeping.
Our commitment is shown in initiatives like purchasing flats for those who've experienced rough sleeping.

Adam’s making a point about black representation. Your comment reflects a limited understanding of this issue, diverting from a important conversation
@UKLabour
need to have. As a CLP Chair, I should hope that you would familiarise yourself with this report to grasp this further.
We have published our report, Black people, racism and human rights.

The F words.
Flexibility, funding & freedom.
That's what
@AngelaRayner
needs to give Local Govt if we're serious about tackling the housing crisis.
Let’s put our money where our mouth is & build better, build big and build bold.

Great morning in Southend East & Rochford on the
#LabourDoorstep
for the brilliant
@BayoAlaba
Ending with a well deserved fish & chips
Every vote counts to change our country. The only credible choice is a
@UKLabour
victory to kick out the Conservatives.

An awesome day spent at the
@LGA_Labour
Conference discovering some of the innovative work being done by
@UKLabour
Councils. I’m walking away from this inspired by how we’re tackling Local Gov challenges, especially at a time when the Tories are failing on all fronts.

Those tweeting support & solidarity to J Corbyn. This is not about him. This response is disappointing, & it invalidates people’s experience of racism. It’s not enough to ‘not be racist’, you need to be anti-racist and acknowledge the institutional structures that enable racism.
