The Mayoral election is tomorrow so get out and cast your vote!

We would like the next Mayor to commit to the emergency construction of 357,000 rain gardens to support both flood risk reduction and improvements in water quality. Let’s all work together to make this happen!

With the Mayoral election tomorrow, help us by asking London’s next Mayor to defend green spaces.

This includes making a commitment to oppose developments that would result in the loss of Green Belt or Metropolitan Open Land, registered parks and other space of community value.

London Mayoral campaign update - we've had responses & commitments from Zoë Garbett, Rob Blackie 🔶 & Sadiq Khan. We're disappointed that Susan Hall AM has not engaged yet and would love to hear back from her on our asks. #AirPollution #Mayor4CleanAir mumsforlungs.org/our-campaigns/…

For the past year, I've monitored anti-ULEZ protest marchers and groups, recently writing about how they've turned into an Islamophobic smear campaign against Sadiq Khan. Thanks to the Unearthed investigation team, we now know who is behind them. Tory staffers.

Response is in from Sadiq Khan - we're reassured that his commitment to reaching WHO air quality levels remains if re-elected. Also happy to hear he will investigate creating a website for #London 's #AirPollution data, & to read his manifesto pledge to expand #SchoolStreets 👍.

What seemed like grassroots FB pages against ULEZ turned out to be a secret network run by Conservative party staff. They were shockingly filled with extreme Islamophobia, white supremacist rhetoric, and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

This Unearthed investigation is well worth a read. The shady world of Facebook groups, London's #CleanAir zone & Conservative Party representatives.

“Their presence in these groups could be seen as an endorsement of the hateful & violent rhetoric within them”.

Tragic announcement from the Government! The unrelenting cost of picking up littered drinks (70% of all litter) burning or burying it in landfill or leaving by roadsides to rot trudges on…billions of pieces of toxic litter chucked while we wait for a #DepositReturnScheme

In the upcoming mayoral election, ask the next London Mayor to make the capital a greener city by supporting the More Natural Capital Coalition’s top ten environmental calls to action.

#AskTheMayor for #AMoreNaturalCapital

Deposit Return Scheme delay “means oceans of bottles and cans will continue to needlessly pile up in bins and continue to be strewn on roadsides and in our green spaces, rather than being recycled” says Allison Ogden-Newton, ⁦Keep Britain Tidy⁩ theguardian.com/environment/20…

We are disappointed by news that the UK's #DepositReturnScheme will be delayed, and exclude glass.

Littered glass starts fires and harms people and pets. That's why 78% of people want to see it included in a deposit return scheme.
