Over Christmas we sometimes produce more waste than usual. Recycle as much of it as possible. All recycling must be clean and dry. For one-off or extra recycling, we will accept flattened cardboard boxes For more details visit https://t.co/ktgnvNKtid

Only 3,156 affordable homes built in London last year, lowest on record. Result? Private rents rocketing. Homelessness up. London councils spending £4m daily on temp accommodation. Planning reform is displacement activity. The govt must fund a major housebuilding programme NOW

A Christmas event took place on 7 December in Southgate to celebrate the launch of the new Pocket Park and the rain gardens, the latest projects delivered by the Journeys and Places team in the Town Centre. These projects have brought greenery and places to sit in Southgate.

Today we are proposing reforms that will make the process of building more houses and infrastructure faster and more efficient. This will help more families on the property ladder and deliver more of the social and affordable homes communities need.

An interesting analysis of the planning system and why speeding up the process may not produce the desired result. Looking forward to reading the book and perhaps all politicians should too!
Settling in for some "slow planning" at @civic_voice's Annual Meeting - with @ParkerGPD & @MarkDob22907270 putting a critical spotlight on the obsession with speed in planning and how "project speed" skews democracy with worse outcomes

Delighted to be at the Annual Meeting of @civic_voice - bringing together hundreds of civic societies like us from across England

We're hearing reports of scam texts claiming to be from City Hall. If you receive a text about winter heating payments, these are fake—don’t click the links, and block the senders. Share this to help raise awareness and protect others.

Great to see local volunteers and schools working with council officers to make this happen. Real community response to improving our Southgate.

Great idea.
London-wide art trail idea to be considered by assembly If it goes ahead the trail would see one new artwork in each borough created by a local artist, school or youth club https://t.co/wbRPF5mr65
