Take note and act...NOW, not in a few years. No excuses cut it anymore. Start by only mowing most grass patches once a year in September. Leave some ground rough, remove invasive species, & stop felling trees @LeedsCC_Help @LeedsCC_CEAQ @LeedsParks @LeedsCC_News @cllrjudithblake

They shoot their hounds , they whip their hounds , they punch their horses . They kill people’s pets , damage their property , break the law and rip our diminishing wildlife to pieces for fun . But they won’t be doing it legally on @nationaltrust land anymore . Good riddance .

Sent to us from resident in Chapel A. Cancer chemicals sprayed by @LeedsCC_News close to School grounds. Caterpillars, insects, & habitat refuge decimated. When will u start delivering against your promises? Stop wasting taxpayer money on ecocide @helenhayden01 @ChrisGPackham

Getting a lot of grief for this tweet, because "fear doesn't motivate people"
You know what else doesn't motivate people? False reassurances that everything will be fine
It's also denialism
#TellTheTruth
I am an expert on the climate and ecological crisis and I am ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED
You should be too

First day back in the office. A 9 mile bike ride on arterial routes from Otley to Saltaire through rubble filled and flooded road sides. Zero development, only deterioration and a near miss from a school bus. Where has the ACTIVE TRAVEL GRANT gone? @leedsccnews @bradfordmdc

Nothing boring about this. Thanks for sharing. Here's hoping @LeedsParks @LeedsCC_News can gain some inspiration for some alternatives to the endless mown grass we (and nature) have to pay for.

Sorry to be a bit of a bore here but I thought this was so good I had to pull up and take a picture. Huge long stretch of wildflowers at Kitchenroyd near Denby Dale, Huddersfield yesterday. Why have a grass verge when you can have these? 👍

Yes please @LeedsCC_News @LeedsParks @lisamulherin. Let's leave some areas of the considerable council parkland to go wild. How about the largest meadow maze in the world in Roundhay? @ForpLeeds

Dear councils, If you don't overmow or spray roadverges and green corners, you get wildflowers like foxgloves - a lifeline for pollinating insects like bees. Biodiversity is better than non-essential 'neat & tidy'. Let's bring nature back 🐝

Friday is last date to comment on Leeds-Bradford Airport expansion. We need NUMBERS, so please go object now. It’s very easy – go to galba.uk/ & follow the link to the planning portal. An even quicker way is to email planning@leeds.gov.uk quoting ref 20/02559/FU. 🙏
