Us when we heard we'd been shortlisted for the SMK David & Goliath campaign award! We’re so proud as a small group of residents that we were able to achieve something so unlikely in stopping the MSG Sphere. Recognition from these Awards is a huge honour. https://t.co/gvaus7Qn7W

We're getting ready for the SMK National Campaigner Awards tonight. Whatever the result, we're honoured to be shortlisted for the David & Goliath Award alongside two incredible campaigns. @GambleWithLives https://t.co/G972s5B5nM Watch them here @ 6.15pm: https://t.co/l6IkdJwj2w

A week til the SMK National Campaigner Awards and we're thrilled to be up for the David & Goliath award! "It validates all the years of hard work, and shows that people power and community really can win.” We're honoured to share the shortlist with two incredible campaigns.

Thanks to @IanJSinclair for this piece chronicling our campaign and the 'decisive role' it played in defeating the MSG Sphere. As he says, we hope it inspires other 'activists working for a better world in 2025'. 'People power 1, corporate power 0.' https://t.co/89KenHSXzk

Gov. risks the climate & people's health & overrides local democracy: 'burning waste produces the same amount of greenhouse gases for each unit of energy as coal power' yet their plans include new incinerator in Portland despite local council rejecting it. https://t.co/FU2rBkC7Qa

Wow. This was approved quickly. Perhaps MSG found their perfect location - somewhere where they're not required to even pretend to care about local opinion.

First London City Airport, now Stansted. Heathrow and Gatwick next? We have climate deniers at the heart of our Government. The climate change committee has said the industry cannot grow without undermining our emissions goals, and has urged ministers to stop expansion.

This low capacity junction is why Silvertown can never in fact be a replacement for what Mayor Khan calls the 'antiquated and out of date' Blackwall tunnel. @BBCTomEdwards @RossLydall

An entire new bus service to help 60 cyclists, maximum, cross the river per hour (when up to 1000/hour use cycle superhighways). No demand analysis, obviously. Just PR, so they can say something has been done.

But we don’t want more motorways. Or any new roads. We are in a climate crisis. Buses, trams, bike paths etc is what we need

Sunday morning. East wind. No Heathrow planes. London City planes haven't started. Waking up to the sound of rain. How refreshing!

George Monbiot argues that Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a great example of a technology that gives the impression of progress, while emissions remain unchecked: “I’m very much in favour of new environmental technologies. I’m very much against their use as substitutes for

Wait, tolls were necessary to disincentivise driving to keep #AirPollution down. Now the tolls are being made cheaper, using ULEZ scrappage money?? What else could £12m be spent on….Cheaper public transport? School Streets? Cleaner buses? #Silvertown https://t.co/LSMu9VEJT2

Hands off Crossness!! At #Bexley "eco-fest" sponsored by Cory Waste who want to build a carbon capture & storage plant ON THE NATURE RESERVE. We have been having a few words with Cory & council reps & mayor about it. https://t.co/p407Zpl1lZ

What's the point of a consultation on tolls if the Mayor has already decided what will happen before the consultation results are in? As with his decision to build Silvertown, the Mayor is not interested in listening to Londoners - who overwhelmingly told him they didn't want it.

@StopMSGSphere Here's our submission:

Additions: 2) there can be some exceptions e.g. blue badge holders 3) the same reimbursements apply i.e. for particular NHS patients. Taxis are luxury, non-environmentally friendly transport. Electric ones create huge particulate #AirPollution from tyres. https://t.co/Nef97GZm5i

TfL's consultation on charges for the Silvertown Tunnel closes 3 Sep. Suggestions: 1) the @SilvertownTn shouldn't be built 2) if it is, it shouldn't be used for private vehicles, inc. private hire vehicles 3) if it is, black cabs shouldn't be exempt. https://t.co/KfhaFmAl5v

@StopMSGSphere The same Peter Hendy who, as London Transport boss, greenlighted the disastrous Garden Bridge, wasting £47m of public money on a design team procured without following procedure, and a construction team prematurely contracted before there was an implementable planning permission

Well, well. This is Peter Hendy, now #Labour's rail minister, who until recently was not only the chair of Network Rail but also of the London Legacy Development Corporation, which worked really hard to force the MSG Sphere on us. https://t.co/LG6ORuuZF1
