#RichmondPark still a racetrack even when police around. @theroyalparks @MPSRoyal_Parks
Management of this Royal Park create the fastest route in SW London.

Excellent to see Labour getting rid of the arbitrary deadline to register all historic rights of way.
Landowning lobbyists had got the Tories to put in a deadline of 2031 to register 49,000 miles of lost paths.
Next step: a right of responsible access!

In Kingston Upon Thames we find Bentalls Department store, a symbol of the town. The 1936 extension was expanded and rebuilt in 1992, the facade kept intact, but what we like more is the furniture depository at the rear, with its Spanish hacienda tower

Do you know this male, or perhaps more likely, do you recognise the dog? We would like to speak to the dog owner in relation to a fatal attack on a deer in #RichmondPark yesterday at about 12:30 near to Sheen Cross. Any information to email [email protected]

Rowena, Ian, this is a regular occurrence. It happens virtually every Monday. Please can you help us obtain a bollard that locks into its bed. Also, is there a way we can enquire whether this is connected to weekly refuse collection? @Cllr_IanGeorge @CllrRowenaBass

Hey! It's National Tree Week - so let's celebrate the humble street tree.
They quietly clean the air, cool our towns in summer, soak up heavy rainfall, create an environment for wildlife, improve our health & wellbeing....
...and they look great 😎🌳

To say that the media and politicians have failed to educate the public about what climate change really means is the understatement of all time. This is just the beginning. #ClimateCrisis #StormBert

I've registered my comments and I'd urge you to too. I was a councillor when this last came to committee, and we made the strong case that keeping the bike lane was imperative. nothing's changed
we either support safe sustainable travel or we don't

Why @RBKingston this isn’t a priority 4 yrs on? @KingstonLibDems
Today marks four years since the consultation on a #PavementParking ban in England - and we're still waiting for action. Disabled campaigner @KatiePennick says:
"In this photo you can see what happens when parking places are put on the pavement. My wheelchair does not fit!"
