Opened in 1933, Hampton Court Bridge over the River Thames lies between Hampton, London and East Molesey, Surrey. It's the most upstream crossing of all of the Thames bridges of Greater London 🇬🇧. Thanks, Martin, for sharing this lovely #destination that's close to home! 😊

For those who know East Molesey and our links to the Palace across the bridge… this building overlooking it has been vacant for 9 months… Tesco have put in an application to occupy it 24 /7 … horrendous … zero parking … zero delivery points … absolute disaster

We've been removing abandoned boats with @SurreyPolice, around Molesey and Teddington reach. Make sure your boat is registered - gov.uk/register-a-boat @ElmbridgeBC

We're removing abandoned boats today from the Lower Thames. These boats blight the river and we're aware of the impact they can have. All boats kept or used on the Thames need to be registered Details here: gov.uk/register-a-boat #Taskforce #Thames @ElmbridgeLC

🍃 We need your help! There are just a few days left to object to the removal of @thegardenstrust as a statutory consultee. The Government has launched a public consultation on its controversial proposal to remove the Gardens Trust as a statutory consultee in the planning process. C20 Society has joined with our fellow Amenity Societies to strongly oppose this; their expert advice and guidance is vital in protecting the UK’s world-famous historic parks, gardens and landscapes. We’re now asking our followers and supporters to respond individually too. The quickest and most effective method is to simply answer question 6 of the consultation form by ticking “oppose”, and leaving the rest blank. ✍️🏼Click the link below to register your opposition before the deadline of Tuesday 13th January 2026: gov.uk/government/con…

HBF logic: If members make fewer planning applications, it is always the fault of the state. Economic logic: If the forecast cost + 20% profit is more than the forecast sale price, applications fall. Political logic: always blame the state, never the logical decisions of members.

Why did our ancestors build civic buildings that lifted the spirit, while we build ones that look like they were designed to make people forget they have one?

Last year Barratt Redrow posted £592m profits, building a mere 16,565 homes, which were 6% more expensive on average. The Top 5 housebuilders posted over £2bn profits. Why then is the govt halving their affordable housing requirements? theguardian.com/society/2025/o…

Great scoop from @Victoria_Spratt - a leaked memo confirms the govt is poised to fast track housing developments with tiny percentages of affordable housing in London to give a boost to developers: inews.co.uk/news/leaked-me…
