The best time to plant a tree🌳 was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
Same city, same day, same time, different streets. Which one would you prefer?

The timeline for the Barnsbury &Laycock Liveable Neighbourhood on the @IslingtonBC website has changed. The consultation phase has been pushed back to 2025. No indication of when in 2025 but we hope it won't be too far off!

This does not inspire us here in Islington; please can this awful junction be made safe for people scooting, walking and cycling ? Who can help fix this fast - @LouHaigh

Another area of Islington becoming cleaner, greener and more peaceful. What’s not to like. Thanks to @RowChampion and @IslingtonBC for delivering on their election promise.

What if I told you that shade from street trees reduces surface temperatures by an average of 12°C and that concrete surfaces shaded permanently by a bank of trees are cooled by up to 20°C in the summer?
You might not believe me. But it's true.
Trees are #heatwave killers.

In-pram babies & young children may breathe up to 60% more polluted air than adults during school runs 😥. To reduce exposure, @AirPollSurrey's recommendations include increasing breathing height & green screens. @pk_shishodia @GuildfordLL #FridayFact

Shocking to hear of two people run over by drivers in Islington in the last 24 hours. Looking forward to safer streets in our Liveable Neighbourhood. dlvr.it/T71CrW islingtongazette.co.uk/news/…

Wow this is amazing. The way Parisians travel has undergone a revolution.
"Culling cars has been far more popular than her petrolhead critics predicted, with #Paris becoming cleaner and healthier to boot."

Something TERRIBLE happened to the streets in #LegoCity and we need to talk about it!
🧐 Why did @LEGO_Group decide to WIDEN the streets?
🚙 What does it teach us about real #autobesity?
🛣️ And how can we change it?

It's clearly a footpath, it just needs to be user friendly.
The bottom of the hill looks like the perfect location for a rain-garden @IslingtonBC
A Greening Together project perhaps? islington.media/news/islingt…
