'Improving significantly' re: the UK's carbon position is still not improving fast or far enough. Yes plenty of other greenhouse gasses of concern and improved modelling is needed wrt them as well; and also the unintended (toxic) consequences to the atmosphere of potential moves to a hydrogen economy etc. This is one thread on LTNs which are about the impact of having/not having them, air pollution, vehicle use, CO2 and climate change (relative importance of which depends on your personal viewpoint perhaps). Perhaps we need others on reducing carbon in other areas of (local) lives if people think there's a risk of sidelining other major CO2 contributors? HP

Yes - yet another wake-up call! How many more will we ignore? HP

Was a bit of a mess the first time - report here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/11081/Gala-2019-Report-V1.4.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiEv7CQ7ofyAhUbTxUIHaRnA20QFjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw2JcZkSHurT3L8H7OMHSONE As someone who loves the park, wildlife and festivals hope different this time.

Expert opinion here: https://www.habitataid.co.uk/blogs/blog/how-to-cut-wildflower-meadow I'll hope sensible path being followed. HP

Walked past with son. Stopped to look at the bit opposite Harris Boys where all that lovely long grass/ meadow and mowed path through it was as it was so beautiful and I wanted to show him. Sadly long grass gone and perimiter fence in - hoping one not because of the other😥. HP

I've thought about this incident a lot. I've got to agree with smooch and firstmate in that I think this silence speaks volumes. I am, I think, going to place some flowers if it's ok to do so. HP

Yer wot!! Where have Manatee's posts gone and why? HP

HI - worth paper collaring him? Downloadable here: https://www.cats.org.uk/media/1283/com_1032_lost_and_found_collar_print_out_aw.pdf Also worth knocking on doors. HP

Pretty sure they're for a one-off school trip - there's one planned today. Contact the school office about the engines running as I think that way you'd get something positive done about it? HP

Talk to a wildlife rescuer/expert. Many wild animals- fledgelings being a particular victim of this - are 'put out of their misery' when if assessed they would have been found to have been perfectly viable/ treatable. HP

From the reports this family have done absolutely nothing. Maybe you should share whrre that quote came from? HP

Terrible. Hope they and their son are OK - poor boy!
