ALT Environment Committee Investigation London’s ‘regional parks’: Connecting people and nature?

ALT The Former Chair of the London Assembly Environment Committee has written to City Airport about new landing proposals.

ALT Leonie Cooper AM Chair of the London Assembly Environment Committee “While decarbonised heat networks potentially improve energy security through the use of waste heat and renewable energy, most are currently still hugely affected by price shocks while electricity prices are still linked to gas. “The ongoing conflict in the Middle East risks rising costs for gas and oil. Even prior to recent price rises, gas prices for customers in the United Kingdom were expected to be 50 per cent higher in March 2026 than in the winter of 2021-22. “It is only fair that Londoners on heat networks are given the equivalent support with their heating bills that other domestic gas and electricity consumers receive, which is why we are calling on the Government to urgently introduce price protections for heat networks.“

ALT Leonie Cooper AM Chair of the London Assembly Environment Committee ‘As Chair of the London Assembly Environment Committee, I am pleased to see that another borough in London has adopted the ‘right to grow’ to allow people to use unused land for growing. This is something the Committee called on the Mayor to support in our local food growing report, and the Capital Growth food growing network – funded in part by the Mayor - has been supporting across the city.”
