FT front page tomorrow. God Almighty, Boris Johnson, after the stink about this during the summer, all the crap you came out with at #COP21, why have you not got this sorted?

Yes! "There is simply no need to spray poisons in our streets, parks & gardens for cosmetic purposes" Please sign and share #pesticides #StateofNature #publichealth petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5903…

Good to hear Thames Water 💧 have acted at last on local residents' concerns about sewage smells along Woodhatch Road -broken pump found and fixed. Hope this is the end of Earlswood Brook smelling of sewage too. A small step for our beleaguered rivers.

That separated, protected lane ABSOLUTELY fights #ClimateChange. And air pollution. And inequality. And preventable diseases. And public health cost increases. And cost of living increases. And tax increases. And it supports economic devt & allows more trips in a lot less space.

@RedhillGreens - Take a look at Emlyn Road/St John's Road, for example. Remove the need for Community Speedwatch with simple re-engineering like this.

Please support and share the petition for a safe pedestrian/cycle crossing on Woodhatch Road to Earlswood Lakes: mycouncil.surreycc.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDis…

And have a look at the junction Prices Lane/Kingsley Grove - why no central island for children walking to Sandcross and Reigate Schools?

Bottom trawling is now permanently banned in four offshore UK Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). But dozens more UK MPAs are still being plundered by industrial fishing vessels. Politicians must go further and ban destructive fishing from ALL UK MPAs: act.gp/3jBuzeL
