Yesterday was a big day. 15 years ago, a group of parents (inc @bocadalupa and me) decided to take action about children’s lack of freedom and access to the space on their doorstep. We devised the resident-led play street model and set up @playingout to grow this movement...

Since quitting the gym, I go to Warren Farm instead of paying to walk on a treadmill. Far more enjoyable, interesting and free! I know several elderly Hanwellians who boast about doing their 10,000 steps around the meadow/canal too.

A few weeks ago we got an alert that the Brent had been polluted, a dull, yellowish sheen covering it in Pitshanger Park. Follow this thread and offer your suggestion about what the polluter should be required to do.

The devastating tale of an urban river. Huge round of applause to all at @BrentPollution for their perseverance and dedication, an example to us all. 👏
This was Boundary Stream, Long Wood, tributary of the Brent, back in May ‘22. Teeming with gamarus, I think it’s fair to say this has been the cleanest part of the Lower Brent for many years. Thread…

The conveniently overlooked and misunderstood # LTNs of the 1960s and 70's    These never get called out as 'gated communities', car-free enclaves, private sanctuaries for the privileged few, high car ownership enclaves, social apartheid' etc.

I live in Ealing, and I don’t see any genuine commitment to the environment. It’s all unaffordable, soulless developments, traffic, and endless greenwashing. Get in the bin @EalingCouncil

Ealing already has a Regional Park. It’s called the Brent River Park. It was set up 50 years ago and added to over the following 10 years. We are well up for expanding it though.
The council is proposing a new regional park in the borough, the very first in west London. 🌳 🏀 🏃🏿‍♀️ Be part of this hugely exciting journey. Share your views on the new proposed park, including on the future of Perivale Golf Course by 19 December. orlo.uk/yw2JU

From @EalingGazette in 1974. Long Wood and the woodland by the viaduct fenced off. Elthorne Park a rubbish dump. Footpaths blocked by flytips. Yet our society’s founders saw the potential to create a continuous park along the River Brent.

Here we go again same borough same theme & commitment to destroy loved public assets! The question is why? The answer lies within the deep connections with who wants to operate sports on #ProtectWarrenFarm and the mitigation that is required to grease the wheels of their plans.
Read this comment, and sign the petition. Perivale park golf course is a place that people of all ages come to feel part of a community and help them and others with mental wellbeing chng.it/gT4n4msFMz via @UKChange

First light at @WarrenFarmNR. Like a spectre, a barn owl appears from the shadows at the edge of the meadow. It swoops silently over the long grass, listening intently for prey hidden amongst the vegetation. @BarnOwlTrust

And now, time for a pint in this most pleasant pub, somewhere in England. It’s in Hanwell actually, which for years I thought was just Ealing by another name, but this village is lovely and the residents rather like Hanwell, too. – at Hounslow, London
