Shame existing trees aren't protected. My utter shock to see the rewilded vegetation in #KentStreet chopped down. @YNET4 wasn't it a bowling green in that area ? so NOT really a brownfield site.

Want to plant trees in #York? New funding is available - for individuals as well as groups. Thanks for sharing @ynet! #MondayMotivation

River Ouse in York at 3.00 metres and now rising slowly again. I'm expecting a peak early Thursday morning of 3.5 metres+, with potential to sneak just above 4 metres. Next update late this evening once the rain has sunk in a bit more 🐁

Did you know that every single stretch of river in England designated as bathing water, bar one, has a "Do not swim" advisory posted?

Yesterday, the @GOVUK ignored pleas from the public, civil society and cross-party parliamentarians and stripped vital wildlife protections from the Planning & Infrastructure Bill. This is hugely disappointing, but we are not giving up. (1/3)

So Southern Water’s toxic plastic beads have now made it all the way across the English Channel. Can someone explain to me, exactly what the hell does a water company have to do to loose their operating licence?

Southern Water haven't just polluted English beaches, their toxic beads have made it across the Channel to Northern France, I am told. This from a beach at Wissant
