Golf course “never a public trust”: High Court hands AELTC landmark victory putney.news/2026/03/19/gol… via @PutneyNews

River guardians do not want bribes that allow Thames Water to keep breaking the law. We want one simple thing: for Thames Water to put spades in the ground & fix every single illegal outfall within the next 5-10 years. A little story to illustrate: 5 years ago I found an illegal outfall spewing raw sewage (with visible turds) into the Aldersbrook (a tributary of the Roding). The EA refused to prosecute, but I created so much fuss locally about it that eventually I got a visit from Richard Aylard, Thames Water’s ‘Sustainability Director’ who had an unflattering appearance in the recent ‘Dirty Business’ programme. Instead of setting forth a timetable to fix the outfall, Aylard offered the River Roding Trust (the entirely volunteer run charity I founded) £50,000 for “river restoration”. I refused this offer, saying there was no point restoring a brook that still had raw shit going into it. I continued campaigning for another three years: taking numerous journalists to the outfall, getting Thames Water hauled before the local council scrutiny committee & relentlessly calling them out on social media. Eventually, after 4 years, Thames spent £1 million fixing the outfall & the brook is now clean for the first time in decades. I have no doubt that if I hadn’t discovered the outfall in the first place, or if I had taken the £50,000, the outfall would still be putting raw turds into the Aldersbrook, a stone’s throw from Ilford town centre. It’s obvious for Thames that’s it cheaper to pay their critics to keep quiet than to do the work needed to fix the problem, but this is not what our rivers need.

@MarkGale This is utterly disgraceful. What was the reason given? Apparently replanting a few 6 inch twigs!! @Merton_Council @MertonLabour @TiCLme @MertonLibDems @MertonTories @MertonFoE @MertonGreens @PaulKohlerSW19 @Siobhain_Mc

A memory of how the Colliers Wood Tandem Centre looked before they cut down all the trees this week. 🌳🪚 #TandemCentre #ColliersWoodWard

Harsh criticism in HoL debate on law change, endangering public rights to public spaces and enriching developers…as far as we can see, motivation is simply to allow powerful AELTC with friends in high places to do what they want regardless of what’s right

@PHShriver Bigger is definitely not better. Sounds like it’s been a nightmare for spectators and visitors with emphasis on a festival not a Grand Slam Tennis Tournament. @SaveWimbldnPark @Merton_Council @wandbc @PutneyFleur @PaulKohlerSW19 @Wimbledon #GreenNotGreed

After a week of seeing forever lines onto courts and eateries, all 4 majors need to develop an app for spectators/ticket holders to know how long arena lines are. Theme parks have been doing this for years. I feel for people expecting to watch tennis only to queue for hours.

I just signed this petition calling on Prince William to end the rent on Dartmoor Prison while it remains empty and unsafe and save millions in public money. It only takes a few seconds - please add your name. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/prin… via @38degrees

@TheFirstServeAU @monte_sports It would appear that, in many instances, bigger is not necessarily better. @Wimbledon should take note.

@SaveWimbldnPark @greenarteries @CPRELondon If a 100 year old tree is felled it will take 100 years to replace it. It would take 500 saplings 10 years to replace the loss of just ONE ancient Oak. We need to wake up and save our planet. You can’t eat money. @BBCNews @BBCLondonNews @PaulPowesland @ChrisGPackham @WimSoc

300 mature trees. 500+ saplings. Gone. This isn’t landscaping — it’s deforestation for sport. A canopy lost for 50 years, even if new trees survive. Nature doesn’t grow back overnight. 🌳 #Deforestation #EnvironmentalImpact @CPRELondon
