@jayrayner1 This land was bought up by @UrbanProvincial to develop into high rise luxury flats, after they got a high court ruling to overturn a council planning decision not to let them move the recycling plant to a residential neighbourhood in West Norwood.

The scene this morning at the waste disposal unit on Shakespeare Rd, se24. Burning since Friday night hence smoke haze over this corner of London. Fire service can’t enter building and sources on site telling me they can’t get enough water pressure on it due to local leaks.

Is the site still owned by @UrbanProvincial? - fumes are stronger and more noxious even with windows closed. What is burning? Is it hazardous to health? My asthma has triggered and I have it mildly so hate to think what it’s doing to babies etc

New inclusive education resource "Belonging in School", ideal for working in/with mainstream schools, researchers working on education or neurodiversity topics, or educational organisations. Join us at are launch event (20th Sept) to find out more: shorturl.at/asPW7

@Spectatoreab @MariIzzard @nyaw_ccic @ShermanTheatre This looks sooo good, would love to see it but not sure I can. Are you filming a performance?

Inconceivable horror descends from space and, through a series of terrifying manipulations of your own tiny world, manages to communicate that it thinks your hat’s shit

@annabelturpin @arcstockton @StoryhouseLive Congratulations Annabel!

@charlesbeckett So scary!

@MonkeysvsRobots Such a privilege to work with you - thank you to the moon and back!

This one was different and fun! Got to add so many personal references into a great brief.

Still euphoric from the @Saint_Gabriels @FirstStory launch for this wondrous anthology, with the cover of dreams - we loved it so much, we all got the tee-shirt! @Teflon_Monkey

So joyous to hang out with so many Queens! Thank you @FirstStory for making it so possible and so fun to collaborate with young, gifted state-school educated writers and for introducing me to my new besties…

Joe is the just the best - thank you for sharing that, made my evening 😍
