🚫 Don’t let rogue waste collectors cost you £1,000. This #FightFlyTippingFortnight, we're urging residents to check before booking a private waste collection. Read our top tips 👉royalgreenwich.gov.uk/news/2…
A large pile of fly-tipped waste dumped on a roadside. The rubbish includes broken white wooden furniture panels, brown cardboard, black plastic bin bags, wooden pallets, pieces of polystyrene, and blue plastic wrapping. The image is framed at the top and bottom by red and yellow hazard stripes. In the upper left corner, a yellow box contains black text reading "Person of Binterest" next to a small wheelie bin icon.

In recent days, we’ve seen investment and homes being blocked by short-sighted populism in London. We will never let that mindset takeover Greenwich. We’re getting things done 🌹

HMO action ➡️ Signed, sealed, delivered. ✅ Greenwich Labour is getting things done. 🌹
Cllr Tom Creswell@tom_creswell_Oct 14
From today, the HMO measures in our new Local Plan will be taken into account in planning decisions: 🏠 No new HMOs under 130sqm 🏠 No new HMOs where 3 of the nearest 10 homes are HMOs Good shared housing matters, but so do family homes. This helps get the balance right.

I am presuming that Greenwich's Green Party will be able to confirm that both the proposer of the motion & their councillors are not actively working with anyone who was found to have carried out antisemitic behaviour whilst a member of other political parties.

Greenwich Labour stand against all forms of racism - but it isn’t clear the Greenwich Greens do given their divisive conference motion, which was proposed by one of their local members. Greenwich Greens need to make clear where they and their Cllrs stand.

He’s correct, it is antisemitic, indefensible, and has no place in government. But neither does the Green Party position on nuclear weapons or NATO. No deals with parties actively working to undermine British national security.

Andy Burnham rules out a post-election deal with the Green Party over its “Zionism is racism” motion, which he says is “antisemitic” “We cannot support a partnership with a party that holds a position that has recently been adopted” Does leave some room if they drop the motion

Those of us in the Labour Party who fought to defeat antisemitism in our movement know how vital this is It isn’t about politics but about our communities Green Cllrs must make clear they will stand up to hate & condemn the motion which was written by one of their local members

Kemi Badenoch thinks “privatisation was a success". She's living in an alternate reality. Water is a symbol of what has gone wrong in Britain. In the years since privatisation our waterways have been pumped with sewage whilst water bosses receive bonus after bonus. Labour is putting an end to this with a strengthened Water Bill which will repeal Margaret Thatcher’s ideological ban on public ownership of water companies. And we’ll also give Mayors new powers to hold water companies to account, and close the loopholes water companies use to pay excessive bonuses.

It really is quite remarkable that the Green Party has decided that anyone who believes in a two-state solution* to the Israel-Palestine problem is a “racist”. *Improbable as such a solving may be now.

Being a member of virtually any synagogue in the UK as a Jew is now racist behaviour according to Green Party policy. This is horrifying and must be condemned across politics.

It comes down to this. To even have a HOPE of pretending your motion isn’t antisemitic, you accept this amendment. Obviously. It was instead rejected twice. First in a pre-conference meeting on amendments, then by party members in the hall. This is now what the Green Party is.
