The @CommonsLUHC inquiry that we and others put so much work and hope into has been halted. We're hugely disappointed but there's no going back. Evidence from 130 orgs now online and we plan to build on momentum to change things for children. https://t.co/61cydMsEei

Excellent that Labour's manifesto recognises "the climate and nature crisis is the greatest long-term global challenge that we face". It acknowledges the need for habitat creation & restoration in response. Serious investment & regulation would be needed to deliver.

Prevention, community-led health & tackling inequalities through social determinants are very much forefront of the @UKLabour manifesto. If elected, Labour must ensure it works with key community trusted voices already working in these places to achieve real, considered change.

Slightly late to the announcement from @SteveReedMP, but great intention from @UKLabour with the Countryside Protection Plan, containing much of what we've been calling for at a policymaking level. Including in our #RoutesToRoots low/no cost manifesto. https://t.co/YFYbcrXb5v

The party said it will plant three new national forests, stop use of bee-harming pesticides and help local groups buy land near them.

Huge disappointment that @CommonsLUHC will not be publishing its report for the 'Children, young people & the built environment' Inquiry. Plenty of effort has gone in x-sector to help improve childhood access to play & nature. The health of future generations depends on it.
There will be no @CommonsLUHC report into children and the built environment. Sad news for everyone who put time, effort and energy into speaking up for #childfriendly places. Guess I’ll put my meet-the-MPs persona away for now. Let’s hope some were paying attention.
