Inspectors seriously concerned about @wfcouncil @AhsanKhan_wf building plans incl. #airquality #floodrisk #tallbuildings & rate of building. @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan @LDN_environment You can STOP the foolhardy scheme to destroy #OrientWayPocketPark and build up to 26 storeys!
Government inspectors have raised 'significant concerns' about the rate of new homes planned for the borough

@wfcouncil decision to destroy maturing, wooded #OrientWayPocketPark & green rail verges for 26 storey towers in #LeaBridge is directly against your idea! @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan @LDN_environment Pls use your power to reverse this destruction of nature! theguardian.com/environment/…
We can also vote for active people/parties #Independent #Green #TUSC who stand up for #WalthamForest residents. @WFLabourParty have delivered for cabinet over people @CllrCoghill #LeaBridgeStationSites @LeytonLabour #SimonMiller #LeaBridgeLibrary & @Labourstone @StopTheRebuild..
@solieplays is an active campaigner for #OrientWayPocketPark and other campaigns in #LeaBridge. #OrientWayParkFriends wish her all the very best in the #election tomorrow. #Vote #LocalAndVocal
@arranangus @theladyblunt You don't follow the campaign to save #OrientWayPocketPark on any socials let alone turn up to events in the park yet you mention your support in your election rhetoric? What will you do for our campaign if you are elected?
Photos show the grass in #OrientWayPocketPark on Thursday v.Friday. #BiodiversityCrisis #ClimateEmergency #SpeciesExtinction has clearly passed @wfcouncil @Labourstone by. Can you at least observe #NoMowMay? #Wakeup #ActionsSpeakLouderThanWords @MayorofLondon @LDN_environment
The trees in #OrientWayPocketPark slowed the flood waters in #LeaBridge last summer. Doesn't it therefore make sense to maintain them and help this little maturing woodland to thrive? @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan @LDN_environment
Woods increase a floodplain’s capacity to store and slow floodwaters, reducing flood peaks 💧

Silence from @wfcouncil @LeytonLabour & our leader @GracieMaeW which is surprising because they have declared a #ClimateEmergency and pledged to "learn from their mistakes" regarding mis-management of our trees. 🙄 @ForestryComm
Really @Labourstone ? Your contractors have finessed themselves with this-shame on them for pollarding trees with ACTIVE NESTS! Where was the risk to human life if this tree was just left well alone during nesting season?!
It is nesting season, these trees have VISIBLE NESTS 🪺🕊. This is illegal. Why is this happening ? @LeytonLabour @Labourstone 🌳 🪚
@labourstone no one has with- drawn from this site please look at this image of the fully pollarded tree with a huge birds nest in it. Lea Bridge Road, outside BB cafe. This breaks the Wildlife & Countryside Act! @ForestryComm
Promoting active transport is great @WFLabourParty but why not STOP cutting down #MatureTrees and planning #unsustainable #towers around the Marshes? @GracieMaeW your comments at last nights' hustings showed that you really don't understand the #LeaBridge community..... 1/3
Climate safety?! @wfcouncil @WFLabourParty are building tower blocks all along the Marshes, planning massive development at New Spitalfields on flood plain next to Hackney Marshes, cutting down @OrientSave pocket park
"Lea Bridge Home Owners" welcome new neighbours & are NOT "against housing". We (renters & owners, new & long-term residents alike) are fighting for #CleanAir #GreenSpace #MatureTrees #Biodiversity #ClimateChange prevention, Preservation of #nature & existing #ecosystems

Shame on you @LambethSE & #countrysidepartnerships for cutting down this mature tree in #nestingseason. Doesn't look like it was felled safely either.... #HealthAndSafety #ClimateEmergency #TreesAreLungs #BiodiversityCrisis #AirPollution #WhereWillTheBirdsSing #AirQuality
Here's a massive mature tree being cut down- Clapham PK Estate just as leaves starting to appear. Horse chestnut?
Cheers MTVH, Countryside Partnerships & Lambeth.
Looks like u didn't get message re climate emergency.
BTW why are u called 'Countryside'?
Baby trees won't help much
@LDN_environment @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan Great to see you promote green space to improve quality of life and healthier, cleaner neighbourhoods. Please STOP the #LeaBridgeStationSites scheme and #SaveOrientWayPocketPark #SaveOrieTheOrientTree 🙏❣🌳
We’ve supported this community in Stratford to be #GreenerTogether - improving the quality of life and creating a healthier, cleaner and greener neighbourhood. greenertogether.co.uk
@LDN_environment @MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan Please #SaveOrieTheOrientTree & #OrientWayPocketPark. REFUSE the #LeaBridgeStationSites Scheme - these 122 trees are a natural #FloodDefence & #Pollution buffer for #LeaBridge and beyond! #ClimateEmergency #TreesAreLungs
#HAZARD 🙏❣🌳
NEW: climate risk maps show exposure and vulnerability to risks such as flooding and overheating of London’s communities. Produced with @BloombergAssociates, these maps will help target climate and environment work where it’s needed most. data.london.gov.uk/dataset/c…
@MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan "First protect existing trees" say @WoodlandTrust & @kewgardens. Please don't underestimate carbon sequestration power & biodiversity of older trees & please #SaveOrientWayPocketPark #SaveOrieTheOrientTree #LeaBridgeStationSites theguardian.com/environment/…
@SadiqKhan @MayorofLondon Please look at the #TreeCanopy in #OrientWayPocketPark today! 🌳🌸 YOU have power to stop the proposed destruction of the park and the 116 trees at #LeaBridgeStationSites. Please make the right decision 🙏 #SaveOrientWayPocketPark #SaveOrieTheOrientTree
“Space is very much an asset… we need to use the land we have got to the best effect we can,” @GracieMaeW said. That's #greenspace 116 #trees on #publicland #floodplain at #TOXIC Xroads where PM2.5 ųg/m3 levels average 29.10 on top 10% worst polluted days! #YouDontBuildOnParks

@MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan Please read @TheCentricLab report for the GLA, "Inequalities and Environmental Action" based on data from 4 boroughs including #walthamforest. #LeaBridge does not need any more #EnvironmentalStressors #airquality #environmentalinjustice #hazard
Our favourite #tree to hug is #OrieTheOrientTree, the 70 year old #sycamore that grows in #orientwaypocketpark. Orie has a #TPO & #CTPO but @GracieMaeW @wfcouncil want to destroy them and over 100 other trees for #unaffordablehousing . Who's your favourite tree to hug?
We're standing up for (and hugging) #Trees!
THES are proud to have recently signed up to support @WoodlandTrust, the UK’s largest #woodland #conservation charity who are restoring, protecting and caring for all British landscapes.
