Out this afternoon on the Avery Hill estate speaking to residents about the need for more parking.

Avery Hill has very poor public transport links & most residents need to drive to get around.

RBG needs to understand that different areas of the borough have different needs.

Great morning out speaking to residents in New Eltham. Plenty of concern raised about Sigmaโ€™s plans to build 205 homes at the STC.

Iโ€™ve been clear that this is an unacceptable development on Metropolitan Open Land and a loss of vital green space and I have formally objected to the scheme.

Canโ€™t remember who told me but I had heard that TfL thought it would impact the bus times on the route too much because of the amount of traffic between eltham and Woolwich. Arguably though that traffic has got worse since they changed the speed limit!

SL15 - proposed express bus service between Clapham Junction and Eltham We would like your views on proposals to expand the Superloop network with new route SL15 between Clapham Junction and Eltham in south London. By clicking on each of the buttons below, you can read mo...

We believe it is an opportunity to make the case to extend the route from Eltham up to Woolwich, delivering much needed additional capacity to the Elizabeth Line.

Last month, TfL launched their consultation for the proposed SL15 Superloop service between Clapham Junction and Eltham.

There are under three weeks to respond to the consultation and you can see the proposed route below.

It was a privilege to lay a wreath at the Eltham War Memorial this Remembrance Sunday.

A poignant reminder of the sacrifice made so we can enjoy our freedom.

Greenwich LTN made permanent as pledges made to fix Charlton's traffic - The Greenwich Wire The part-time low-traffic neighbourhood in Greenwich and Blackheath will be made permanent after a panel of Labour councillors rejected two challenges to the scheme.

Next May, you need to send them a message and vote them out.

Disappointing that Labourโ€™s disastrous LTN has been given the seal of approval.

๐ŸŒณ Negligible impact on air quality
๐Ÿš™ Huge increase in traffic on boundary roads
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Widespread opposition

If you live in the LTN or boundary roads, Labour do not care about your opinion.

We were out litter picking for Councillor Greenwellโ€™s litter pick this morning at Eltham Park South.

Our eldest enjoyed using her โ€˜glitterโ€™ stick to pick up the litter ๐Ÿคฃ

Out in Chislehurst this morning - positive response.

So many residents feeling let down by this Labour government and their Labour MP.

๐Ÿฅ€ This evening, Greenwich Labour decided not to put in place a plan to tackle issues with anti-social behaviour from delivery bikes on Eltham High Street.

Greenwich Labour arenโ€™t serious about Eltham or our High Street ๐Ÿฅ€

Next week weโ€™re taking our plan to the Town Hall to tackle delivery bikes on Eltham High Street.

Targeted enforcement. Tighter restrictions. Better collaboration.

Simple, common-sense solutions for an issue that matters to you.

Good question. It doesnโ€™t say in the communication from Lidl but given the number of properties it will have to include some element of affordable housing.

Completely agree on your point re people moving away. Itโ€™s why we need to use sites like this to change that issue.

Iโ€™ve been contacted by Lidl regarding plans to redevelop the Mecca Bingo site on Eltham Hill.

Plans include 21 flats, 7 townhouses, community space & new Lidl store.

FWIW I think this is a great use of the site and delivers much needed housing. Keen to hear others views too.

Battle to scrap south London LTNs after 'traffic just pushed elsewhere' Councillors โ€˜call inโ€™ two traffic schemes for scrutiny as decision looms on whether to make them permanent

Labourโ€™s own report shows their LTN has had a negligible impact on air quality.

This isnโ€™t about air quality, it never has been. Itโ€™s about making money from hard working Greenwich residents.

And thatโ€™s why weโ€™re calling on Labour to scrap it.

Meridian Home Start are revising their plans for Shepherds Leas near Falconwood โ€” lowering the height from 7 to 6 storeys and replacing the turquoise faรงade with something more in keeping with the area.

My thoughts and the new design below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Photos from my run this weekend. Itโ€™s amazing that this is Zone 4 in London.

Weโ€™re so lucky to have green space like this on our doorstep and itโ€™s so important that we continue to protect it.

The Greenwich LTN has done nothing for air quality & has pushed traffic onto boundary roads โ€” the scheme is proof Labourโ€™s war on drivers is ideological, not environmental.

Being a local councillor isnโ€™t all glamour - I popped down to New Eltham this afternoon to water the planters outside the Coop to make sure they continue to brighten up the village.

This Tory Party conference has set out a positive & fiscally responsible Conservative vision for the future.

A future Tory government would cut the size of the state & bring welfare under control while boosting our high streets & abolishing stamp duty to help grow the economy!

We were out this morning speaking to residents in New Eltham.

Lots of interesting conversations with residents raising Thames Water disruption and delivery bikes on the High Street - two issues we are very aware of and working to address ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Revealed: Just 60 fines issued to delivery bikes on Eltham High Street since Jan 2024

Thatโ€™s fewer than 3 a month. Labour arenโ€™t taking this seriously โ€” weโ€™ll be putting forward our plan next month to step up enforcement and fix it.

It was great to attend the Eltham Choral Society concert at St Maryโ€™s Eltham CCA this afternoon with Councillor Greenwell.

These Friday afternoon concerts were supported by all three Eltham Town and Avery Hill councillors with funding from our ward budget.

What a lovely afternoon at the Community Hopsice Fun Day in Avery Hill Park.

I know first hand the amazing work the Community Hospice does in our borough and it is as great to support that work today.

Parking problems already hurt footfall on Eltham High Streetโ€”this will only make it worse.

Weโ€™re calling on the Council to drop these plans and back our High Streets.
